Long time no post!

I recently watched some documentaries on food and health.  It got me to thinking that some of my many migraines lately might be due to all of this baking.  White flour and sugar ...apparently not the best for you.  I often use whole wheat flour and raw sugar but rarely do I exclusively use these alone.  I read something about 60 percent of our diets should be raw whole foods.  Totally makes sense but it's actually not easy to do in America.

My solution was to purchase a juicer to add in the nutrients of live whole raw foods.  It came last Wednesday and I have to say I'm impressed.  Within minutes I was drinking 6 carrots and an apple.  My skin feels tingly and I actually don't think I needed blush (after two days) for the first time in my life. 

Now I'm on a quest to try everything as juice.  Carrots are delicious when juiced.  I never really loved carrots but would eat them because I knew they were good for you. Throw in some spinach...doesn't really taste different but now I'm getting the vitamins from spinach.  Wow.

So Easter is coming.  Why not grow wheat grass to display the eggs and then juice it when done?  I am very skeptical that I will like drinking wheat grass but I'm am positive I can throw in an apple or pear and it will taste great!

Choosing a juicer...I wish I could have found one a little cheaper but I'm positive I made the right choice in purchasing the Omega 8006.  The juice yield is quite high, it's quiet, and best of all, super easy to clean.  The 8004 is $50 cheaper but it was white and some people said that the carrots can stain it.  I rarely get juice on that part of the machine so I wouldn't worry about that, now that I have one.
