Citrus Heavenly Juice Recipe

This is a wonderful heavenly juice.

Ingredients

1 grapefruit
1 orange
1 carrot
2 handfuls of spinach
3 cups of water


Wash all vegetables, buy organic when you can.  Chop  carrot in small pieces. Remove rind from orange and grapefruit, try to keep some of the white part of these fruits.  Put carrot in blender first and chop.  Then add peeled orange and grapefruit, puree.  Add 2 cups of water and blend.  Add spinach and another cup of water.  Blender all together until really smooth.  Store left overs in glass in refrigerator for only one day.  This should make about 4 large glasses of juice with pulp.

Enjoy this refreshing juice!

9 Best Winter Foods

So in reading  and email sent to me from  Eat This and Not That, I found out that the best winter foods are brussel sprouts, leeks, kale and beets.  But these just aren't very tasty for some people's pate.

Here are the number one best winter fruits and vegetables according to this site because they are packed with vitamins and nutrients:

#1  Pomegranate
# 2  Brussel Sprouts
# 3  Persimmon
#4  Leeks,  its kind of like a giant green onion
#5  Kiwi
# 6  Beets
#7  Guava
# 8  Kale, its like a green leafy spinach
#9  Pomelo
Okay, I don't know about you but some of these things I've never heard of, so I don't think I will be eating much of them, like: persimmon, guava and pomelo.  I personally just don't like beets and haven't eaten them since I was a child.  But whatever happened to good old fashion pumpkin or sweet potatoes?  They too are packed with vitamins and great winter food.  I personally don't think you can go wrong with any squash.

Summer Fun with my new creation just for me!

An up coming birthday party inspired me to make myself an apron. I am one of the world's messiest cooks around. I wanted to look good for the party so I needed a cute apron. I decided to make a halter apron because its really hot here 103. Aprons need not be drab but can be cute for the hostess. I tried to think of matching my clothes to an apron but I didn't have any fabric to go with the outfit I wanted to wear. Hum, imagine that.

I decided to find cute appealing fabric and just make something I liked and then find some outfit to go with it. Boy, that was much easier.



My apron I decided on was made from scraps of fabric I had left over, even from an old shower curtain I once used. So I have vintage fabric and new fabric. My reversible apron will give me two different looks for what ever mood I'm in.

Here are some halter aprons in my shop.

Casa de Fruta

Part of my trip to California included a trip to Casa de Fruta in Hollester. This was a fancy fruit shop with gourmet fruits, vegetables and candies, and mini amusement park. The rides where closed because it was a weekday but we had fun anyways. My brother, Jim, and his family took me to this lovely place.

The Venetian Carousel is so beautiful it was too bad it was the boys couldn't ride on it.



There was even a Casa De Wine shop for wine tasting and del lunches. It has such a beautiful fountain.


In the caboose are my brother's his two sons, Sam, top and Joe in the middle. Sonia, my sister-in-law and I are on the ends.
