Carrot Celery Tomato Beet Greens Juice

I know what you’re thinking. Juice?? This is juice?? It looks like cola! Well friends, it’s not! It’s the juice that I hold responsible for giving me back my life on Sunday.  I was CRAZY sick on Saturday with a 24 hour flu, followed by a wicked sore throat.  I drank some of this on Sunday morning and felt amazingly recharged.  It could have been the 18 hours of sleep, but I am somewhat convinced it was this drink that helped.  Quick! Someone get sick and make this so we can test it out. OK, please don’t. That would be sad.

Look what’s in it:

Herbed-Baked Eggs

served with toast

Our old neighbors brought us some fresh eggs from their chickens Friday night!  Because these eggs are super special, I decided to make a fancy breakfast with them. My mom made us these eggs when Cooper was just a wee baby and I’ve thought about them ever since.  The herbs, cheese and garlic are a wonderful addition to the eggs.  You will delight in spearing the yolk with your toast because the combo creates a whole new dimension of garlic bread!  Oooey gooey garlic bread!

Baked Kale Chips

nice and hot!

I am totally jumping on the band wagon here and I really think you should too! Have you been seeing baked kale chips all over the internet like I have? There’s definitely a good reason for the buzz.  I finally made some today and I have to say that kale chips are exceptional!  They are healthy AND crunchy, which equates to a guiltless snack.

Ever had broccoli rabe? Do you like the taste of dried toasted seaweed?  You are in luck!

Totally disgusted? Don’t make them! Go away!

Intrigued? DO IT. Come on! CONTINUE READING

Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits

i get dibbs on this one!

I am not going to get wordy on this post.  Just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Biscuits this good should be illegal.  The addition of cheddar to the dough makes them utterly amazing.

The flavor? All I can say that it reminds me of a Cheez-It crossed with a buttery flaky biscuit.

Tangy, flaky, buttery goodness marbled with shreds of cheddar. Best when served hot!

I can’t wait until you taste the bottom edge.  You will thank me & Ina Garten for bringing this to your attention.

Take a look at the three stars of this recipe!  Buttermilk, sharp cheddar and butter! CONTINUE READING

Kiwi Mango Orange Basil Pear Juice

Could we possibly add more fruit to this concoction? My juicer sighs “Please no!”

kiwi orange pear mango basil juice

I have to tell you that the kiwi and the mango are the real stars of this juice.  They are thick, pulpy fruits that create quite a *sludge* in the juicer. What comes from them is not just juice; it’s more like a jammy nectar!  When you add them to the pear and mandarin oranges you get a really thick juice.  A juice that will make you feel like you are in Hawaii.  A juice that is BEGGING for a decorative paper umbrella to accompany it!

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Vegans & vegetarians please divert your eyes. In fact, you might as well skip this post since it’s all about meat. There’s a lovely shot of coleslaw though!  And that recipe is pretty awesome!

I don’t really eat much meat anymore. It adds a huge weight to our grocery bill so I’ve been supplementing with beans and the like. Every now and then I get a craving for meat so I give in; this always makes the boys I feed SUPER happy.
