Using your juicer: in order 1 handful of spinach 1 bunch of green grapes 1/2 unpeeled cucumber 1 small green apple Forget your martini or tequilla. There's a green drink in town. It's the all green cucumber drink mixed with all the fresh goodness of grapes, apple, and spinach. All the more reason to drink up... According to everynutrient.com, cucumber is rich in Vitamin A,C & folic acid. I did not know that the skin, is rich in minerals such as magnesium (which will help you sleep like a baby), molybdenum,potassium and silica. Silica is a trace mineral that is said to strengthen our connective tissues in our bodies. Cucumber also good for sunburn & swollen eyes and prevent water retention. So drink up ladies!!

So I finally got my first juicer for my birthday..and I love it! There were two main reasons why I wanted to get the juicer.. 1 . To eat more servings of raw fruits and vegetables. 2. To get my son (4 yrs old) to eat more vegetables through juicing because he kept on getting colds. So, on our first day of juicing..we decided to try all the fruits I had on hand together with celery and carrots. For the first time, my toddler drank the celery/grape juice without complaining, and drank all the carrot/ and apple juice and enjoyed it at the same time. So what are the reported benefits of drinking fresh juice? you get enzymes from raw foods that aid digestion none of the artificial coloring none of the sweetener or high fructose syrup better health and vitality help the environment by not throwing away plastic bottles or cartons save money more vitamins and minerals than commercial juices **pictures above show following combinations: carrot/apple, grape/celery,apple/strawberry/celery/carrot

Butter Icing: 3/4c sugar or powdered sugar 3/4 c evaporated milk 1 c butter Dissolve sugar in milk. Set aside. Cream butter until light and fluffy. Pour sugar-milk mixture in thin streams beat

I've saved this recipe for years from Martha Stewart.com and I love this recipe. Somehow I've never been able to achieve this same taste with other pancake mixes.

Heat griddle to 375 F . Whisk together all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add beaten eggs,buttermilk and 4 T melted butter. Whisk to combine. 2. Using 4 oz ladle pour pancake batter in griddle, about 2 1/2 minutes or when it begins to form bubbles. Flip and Cook until golden on bottom about 1 minute. 3. Keep finished pancakes in a warm 175 F oven
