cleansing 

i'm doing a cleanse to shake off the sugar frenzy of the holidays and get focused on health right off the bat in 2015.  russ gifted me a juice cleanse from wonderpress, a cold press juicery in boulder near the studio.  i'm obsessed with their juices. to ease into it i've been doing alot of soups and salads.  this recipe was surprisingly delicious so i decided to share it in case anyone else out there was also pressing the reset button on their diet.  

"cream" of broccoli soup

you will need:
avocado oil (2 glugs)
half an onion (about one cup diced)
one glove of garlic, minced
one large head of broccoli cut into smaller florets
1/3 cup raw cashews (soak for 1/2 an hour before use)
1 cup almond milk
1 cup water
juice of 1/2 a lemon

saute the onion in the avocado oil over medium/high heat until translucent (about 4 minutes)
add the garlic and cook about 1 minute longer, stirring
add broccoli and cook until bright green, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes)
pour in almond milk and water, if you want this to be creamier you can sub almond milk for water
bring to just boiling and then lower the heat
cover and gently simmer until the broccoli is soft (about 8-10 minutes)
carefully transfer to a food processor or high powered blender, vent lid so steam can escape
blend, slowly adding cashews until the whole mixture is smooth
garnish each bowl with lemon juice and enjoy

last apple harvest day

just to give you some perspective - this little apple tree has produced almost 4 bushels of apples this year!  we harvested the last round today.  they were without a doubt the very best apples i've ever had.

second last harvest

even after the snow my tomatoes are still killing it!  it's amazing!  as you can see the eggplant didn't really bounce back.

quick pickle

with such bounty around here i'm making forays into food preservation.  i used gwyneth's bread and butter pickle recipe from her cookbook "it's all good".

i love that book and recommend it.  lot's of delicious, clean eating recipes.

cauliflower me

i used to hate cauliflower.  then i discovered roasting it and now i eat it about twice a week.  
cut the florets
coat them with olive oil, salt and pepper
roast at 400 degrees mixing occasionally for about 30 - 40 minutes
eat as desired!

great in salads, mixed with chickpeas and parsley, dipped in aoili, snuck into burritos, the list goes on...

no show day

i realize it's probably too cold in most places to enjoy this delicious, icy, refreshing beverage.  but if you're somewhere hot, like costa rica, or maybe australia, you may need some cold, refreshing juice.  this one will cool you right down.

- one cup of ice
- one thick round of watermelon
- three sprigs of mint (de-stemmed)
- juice of one cucumber

blend thoroughly and chill the fuck out.  namaste bitches, xx.

radical health challenge:
between thanksgiving and christmas go on a mini-cleanse; for two or three days eat only fruits, veggies and fresh squeezed juices.  no alcohol, no refined anything, and (if possible!) no caffeine.  be sure to drink plenty of water, and by plenty i mean a gallon, or close to it, each day.  have a water drinking contest with yourself!  this season is for sure a time of indulgence but anything is possible for a couple days - so go for it.  namaste bitches, xx

p.s. am i the only film nerd who noticed how much the edges of this photo look like film?
