Baking Fail + {Spinach Lemonade}

Okay, here comes a confession: sometimes my recipes fail...like big time. Like throw the entire batch straight-into-the-trashcan-fail.  Yesterday was one of those days. I was so excited about last week's super successful juicing/baking combo of Good Morning Juice and Carrot Cake Muffins that I sought out to replicate the process with a different set of flavors: a green lemonade plus lemon/lime bars using the pulp.  The lemonade was fantastic, but the bars were awful...waaaaaaaaaaaay too much spinach pulp ...

Weightloss Rut + {Good Morning Juice}

It has been WAY too long since I've posted a new juice recipe. Did you know I love juicing? I'm all about juicing for weightloss, for improved health, and to nix sugar. It's how I lost 50 pounds in the first place! And when I've been in a rut with weightloss (which I am currently in), it's good to get back to what I know: juicing + exercise.  So I will be juicing more regularly again, creating/posting more juice recipes, AND I will be focusing more on cardio. ...

Feelin' the love + {Italian Artichoke Biscuit Quiches}

Well, between all the potty/poop talk, a recipe for pork tenderloin, and a comment about church, I've lost quite a few Facebook fans and blog readers this week.
