10 Food Myths....

Life Hacker put out this list of 10 Food Myths That Will Not Die.   I still think that having a wooden board for veg. and a plastic or glass one for chicken/meat sounds like a good idea to me.

I actually gave my child salmonella back in the lack of organic foods day.  Not that non-organic chicken was the culprit  (...but it was, because I didn't wash it properly. ) but I like the idea of the dish washer clean board for chicken.

Peel all the things!!!

This is so cool.  I peel a lot of garlic.  I happen to have two bowls!

Juicing...

Vegetable Juice-Beet Recipe 

• 1 beet
• Beet leaves from 1 beet
• 4 carrots
• 1 apple
• 1/2 cup leaves of spinach
• 1 whole cucumber

This one is very yummy and fresh tasting.

Pink Juice

This is a really pink juice.

4 little red apples
3 small beets
1 lime with skin
1/2 inch of ginger

We loved this one!

*warning*  This product will produce pink poop.  Don't worry, you aren't bleeding to death.

Let there be juice.

I have been doing some juicing.  Not just the morning yummy fruit kind, but the hard to drink sort of a struggle to get down kind.

My favorite is just plain old Carrot and Apple.  Sweet, easy to drink, yummy.

Today we tried this, I call it "Not V8 by a Long Shot":

2 carrots
2 romma tomatoes
a hand full of cilantro
a hand full of spinach
3 stocks of celery
Juice of one lemon

It was green.  It was good.  It was ugly.

I am going to attempt pictures of the juicing this week.  My food photography is almost as bad as that greeeeeeen juice.  Practice makes perfect.
