I like Easter it’s a beautiful holiday with delightful colors. I always found Easter to be a positive time. A time to take stock of what was and transform yourself, your world and the world and people around you. A magical mystical metamorphosis – no wonder the colors are so brilliant and bright.
Whatever your inclinations or not towards Easter I wish you a happy journey on your transformational process!
I love the beauty of irrational numbers like Pi! 3.14… is truly beautiful. Let’s celebrate Pi day with Pie!

Over past month I’ve been exploring juicing with great gusto! Juicing has replaced my breakfast and lunch meals. But after juicing I’m left with wonderful nutrient rich remains. I started a compost bucket. Low and behold my mother, Joyce, decided she would make a garden to and use the compost. Joyce did a terrific job of researching home garden composting. She found these easy to follow instructions in Garden Guides. In 5 simple steps you can add so much value to your home in door and outdoor garden! I’m looking forward to Joyce’s basil, spearmint, and cilantro to add to my juices! Way to Go! Mom for making the environment a better place!!
My latest juice exploration:
Please aware of the Bumble Bee product recall!
Zachary, maker of chocolate marshmallow Easter eggs found Salmonella. Zachary took voluntary recall action.
Zachary posted on it’s website a press release with details about their investigation, findings and update on their chocolate marshmallow Easter egg candy. After retesting by a independent 3rd party it is confirmed Salmonella is not present.
Twice weekly trips to theGilbert’s Farmer’s Market make my life in transition to Gilbert AZ a real pleasure. I love farmer’s markets, I’ve been to farm many different farmer’s market’s in the US, UK and Europe. I love the healthy goodness that come direct from farm to my fork to my body! Mostly I enjoy the honest pride expressed by the farmers that grow healthy organic and natural products and enjoy meeting the people they provide for. This is no different for local growers and locally made providers that participate in the Gilbert’s Farmer’s Market. They are awesome! What like best is about attending the Gilbert’s Farmer’s Market is the feeling of community. I get a greater sense of belonging to the community rather than feeling as if I’m lost in the center of the desert. I go on both Wednesday’s to Power Ranch and Saturday’s to downtown Gilbert.
I bought from:
Gilbert AZ has a small community with over 212,000 people, there are 1793 farms in Maricopa County that’s 27% down since 1997. I aim to support our local growers and locally made in Gilbert and AZ. How about you?
Saturday I’ll be shopping with my brother, Tom. I’ll say hello!
What started out as a harmlessness preoccupation, has turned into a ritual! Juicing is my new love – I do mean the healthy juicing. Once I saw the photo Kate Hough posted on Facebook a few weeks ago I knew I had to try it too. Here’s Kate’s recipe for green juice is inspiring
1 head romaine lettuce with the heart of the lettuce cut off
3 – 4 kale leaves with the thick stalks cut off
1/2 bunch parsley
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 apple
1 cucumber
4 – 5 celery stalks
1/2 lemon, peeled
The cilantro adds the kick, cucumber, apple, and celery mellow out the grassy flavors of the kale.
Dash Juicer
But, I could do this with just a blender no way – I got a Dash. It’s smooth, easy to use and in seconds I can produce a delicious refreshing healthy tonic that my body just loves! What do I love best about juicing – besides the healthy goodness for my body – I just like the putting fruits, veggies and herbs into the juicer – it’ just pain fun to experiment!
I did find a couple of other things from the local grown farmers and made in AZ to add to my juices:
Both additives ad extra healthiness.
Just when you didn’t get enough experimentation here are some juicy pins I added to the Daily Eats’ Pinterest board. Don’t forget composting is a great way to give back to the environment!

Treehugger provides advise for smart eating.Click here is their list of toxic fruits and vegetables to be aware of and to try to buy the organic variety. They highly recommend always buying organic. I agree with this logic and wisdom.
Martha Payne joined Nick Nairn at his cookery school for lunch today
Martha Payne understands what a healthy meal is, she decided to take a deep hard look at her school lunches. Martha’s findings will astound us but not surprise us. She blogs the results of her lunch research in her food blog “NeverSeconds“.
Martha is smart and clever – she created a rating scale called food-o-meter in which she reviews:
This is brilliant! She using critical thinking! She should be applauded by the school for being smart, and her school should consider her findings.
Martha, I see a Pulitzer in your future. Keep up the good work! I think you are going to really love statistics!
Though I am relieved to see that Martha is allowed to continue her research, Argyll and Bute Council should consider that Martha is demonstrating her education. Her representation of what she is learning is evident in how she is observing and examining the problem, articulating the problem and discussing her research. Martha also has also combined the use of science with the use of art as shown in her well composed photographs. Hopefully Argyll and Bute Council will realize and be proud that Martha is a prize student who is using her skills in a positive way. Let’s make sure Martha continues to grow her skills and get her on the road for that Pulitzer!
