Kale chips

I tried to make kale chips for the first time.  I started with purple kale so they turned out better than they may look.  I do think that I will get better the more times that I do it.  I used a cooking spray and then sprinkled on some sea salt, garlic powder and a little too much cayenne pepper.  I adapted the recipe from:  http://crazycowboywife.wordpress.com/2012/04/29/kale-chips-done-right/

Tastes Better Than it Looks

Today I used a little kale, 3 mushrooms, some parsley, a pear, half a lemon, a handful of yellow carrots, a touch of broccoli, and cauliflower. I also threw in a bag of blueberries. It looked great going in but like a greenish-brown mess coming out.
It tasted really good.

Heating It Up

At the farmers market, I had found a little bag with some peppers in it. I threw one in with my fridge clean out juice of kale, brussels sprouts, lemon, papaya and tomato. It was great! I will certainly do the pepper again. If you are not into hot, maybe try a half pepper.

Too Rind or Not to Rind

I have read on some sites that recommend leaving the rind on your citrus for the vitamins. Others state to take it off because of the taste. I left half of the rind on half of a lemon. The predominate flavor of this mornings juice is lemon rind. So, I will be taking off all of it next time.
Today's mix: kale, chard, lemon, apple, spinach, and Romaine. I added some cayenne pepper but not enough to consider it spicy.

Berry Good Morning

Just some mixed frozen berries and a couple of handfuls of fresh blueberries. Quite tasty.

A little Zumba yesterday and I'm ready to power through the rest of the week

Tropical Juicing

Tonight I had a little fun with the juicer.
1/2 each of a lemon and lime, mango, and cucumber. Poured it over ice and fresh mint. I added a shot of coconut water. Stirred with sugar cane. May have been better with rum, but it was sooo good as it was.

Fridge Explosion

Landing in the juicer this morning: kale, dandelion, beet root, celery, spinach, broccoli, kiwi, orange, 1/2 lemon, 1/2 sweet potato.
It was pretty good. Definately better than I had expected.

Off to the gym!
