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!

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!!

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:

  • Elizabeth’s Moments of Joy – OMG her Whoopie Pies are delicious! I especially love  the chocolate on chocolate! I love the ’50′s retro packaging!
  • ISS Magic Mixes – Certified gluten free oatmeal – I got the blueberry vanilla  and almond mix! making my breakfast so much more delightful!
  • The Farm at Agritopia – I was immediately attracted to their display of product. I juiced their red cabbage, cilantro, lemons, kale, spinach, beets, yes I love their beets I love it all!
  • Doctor Hummus - Every time I see Doctor Hummus I get samples that flow continuously and every time we walk away with several different varieties including Roasted Garlic, Olive Tapenade, Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto, Vegan Spinach & Onion Dip, Guacamole.
  • Seize the Fork – Turned me onto Mega PowderBlend which adds extra zip to my new found juicing art – They’re VEGAN! btw I love their rich photo images on their Facebook page.
  • Rhiba Farms – Wheatgrass! Now talk about straight from the farm – love the sweet taste of this wheatgrass. I just may adopt a chicken – you should too! these chicks are free range pasture feed! that’s what I call fresh!
  • DeCio Pasta – handmade gluten-free pasta – I had seconds on their pasta – though sadly they had fire and won’t be producing for awhile.
  • Uprooted Kitchen – I love this food truck! OMG their chocolate zucchini is to die for – I just may if I don’t get another piece! my favorite vegetarian food truck!

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!

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

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!

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:

  • Mouthfuls
  • Courses
  • Health Rating
  • Price
  • Pieces of hair
  • Ease of eating with wrist in stookie
  • Wristband

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!
