Super Green Goodness

-
Everything in this juice is green and it includes broccoli.

 YES-You can juice broccoli.

And, YES it taste delicious. I promise. I am a firm believer that you can juice just about any fruit or vegetable in some combination and make it delicious. I was thumbing through my big book of juices the other day looking for inspiration to throw into my new juicer, and found a number of recipes for juices with broccoli. Although I am a big fan of broccoli, I had never thought about juicing it. I typically shoot for veggie juices and occasionally include a piece of fruit or two, but broccoli had not made an appearance in my juicing experience...until today. Broccoli is almost always hanging in my fridge ready to be of service, so I decided it was due time to try it out in a juice. As it goes, I ended up making a tasty combination with what I had available in my fridge. I was super pysched with the results and am looking forward to playing around with other broccoli variations. This one is safe for those who aren't quite sure about juicing broccoli. The lemon and apple give it a tartness that is totally refreshing. If you are still uncertain, try it for the nutrients that you'll be getting from this green cup of goodness. This green juice is alkalizing, a great source of anti-oxidants and full of vitamins A, C, K, B1, B2, B6, potassium, folic acid and magnesium. Need I say more?

8 broccoli spears
1 apple (green apple is nice here)
2 sticks of celery
1 lime (lemon works too)
1/2 small fennel bulb
1/2 small to medium cucumber

Juice, stir and drink up!

Easy Homemade Bone Broth

"Good broth will resurrect the dead." – South American proverb OK listen up! Homemade bone broth is one of the most nourishing and healing things you can add to your diet. Full stop. I truly can't express this enough. Homemade broth is loaded with minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, collagen and gelatin, which have a vast amount of nutritive and healing properties that I will tell you more about down below. Want to talk about "superfoods"...forget goji berries, insert BONE BROTH. It's truly a healing elixir. Bone broth has been traditionally consumed for years and in a variety of cultures. It is incredibly easy and inexpensive to make, and it taste so much better than store bought stocks that are made with fillers and additives–some even contain MSG! And no, boxed stocks do not contain the powerful healing abilities of homemade broth. Sorry! I can't tell you how many people have told me about their miraculous comebacks from flus, digestive diso

Hi All! Sorry it's been so long! I've been quite the nomad these last few months and I've also been doing a lot of work healing my gut so my cooking has been REALLY simple and a bit boring. I was feeling a little restricted and uninspired so I took a break from posting. Good news is I've made a lot of progress and am continuing to heal so things are starting to get interesting again in the kitchen. Currently, I'm in Hong Kong and the spirit of Thanksgiving is not quite in the air, but you can bet your bottoms that we are celebrating it anyways! We are gathering with a few friends on Saturday so I'm in the midst of planning and preparing a few meals to bring over. I've got a lot of ideas for pies, which I'm sad to say won't be in time for you for Thanksgiving. However, they will be on your radar for Christmas– another festive time for creating healthy and delicious food. Stay tuned. Today, I've got an incredibly simple treat for you. I'v

Get in there and be with it.

Get in there and be with it. All the occurrences and experiences in our lives are shaping us in some form or another. Some times we don't know the rhyme of reason for it all, but over time that challenge, experience or event will have a way of revealing some truth about ourselves to us. So whether you are in the face of uncertainty, battling challenges or perhaps life is unfolding magically for you, just get in there and be with it. Be present with it and see if you can focus solely on what good can come from it. Be grateful. Remember everything is shifting and transforming. Know that Spirit has your back.
