2 for 2010!!!

I bought a juicer 5 months before I got pregnant with Cooper. I was obsessed. For the first three months, I juiced constantly. I could not keep enough fruit & veg in my house to quench my thirst. I thought to myself “This 200 bucks was soo worth it! How could I never NOT juice?!”

Then I got pregnant and turned super lazy….The thought of lugging my machine out of the cabinet and cleaning up the mess prevented me from using it. What a waste of a fine machine! Sigh.

This afternoon while Coop slept, I busted out Rhoda (the name I have for my juicer) and made something delightful!

Carrot, Red Pepper, Apple, Ginger & Celery juice:

And this is the result!

I love how frothy it gets!

Because today is the last day of the year I FEEL like I should make some resolutions to begin 2010.

I have two:

-Juice more

-Go on more hikes with my family

We went on one this past weekend in Guerneville and it was FUN!!

So I think those are pretty realistic & attainable! What are yours?

Beautiful hiking pics! Those inspire me to get outside — I love a misty forest. hmmn, or maybe the Japanese gardens (in PDX)…

I’ve got a whole list of “would-be-nice-to” roaming in my brain, but I think these are my top 3 right now:
1)Take a home-buying class & get SERIOUS about the process (saving, etc)
2)finally start a food blog – I’m a little late to the game, but I’m so tired of my recipe collection mess, it’d be nice to have recipes stored in a blog form, instead of scraps of paper fluttering on my kitchen counters.
3)the mail project – to both support the US Postal Service & to keep the written letter alive, my goal is to write one letter a month, hopefully more? Maybe even find an actual penpal 🙂

I have the same juicer and I agree, I love it, but I don’t have counter space for it, so getting it out and the clean-up keep me of using it often. I would love it if you shared more juicing recipes though!!!

Drat it, now I have to add “get me a juicer” to my new years resolutions. That sounds so tasty!

Love the pictures in the woods, the mood the light and textures are just super-dreamy.

So do you recommend the type of juicer you have? I’ve been thinking about getting one.
