I’ve been wanting some good juicing recipes, my friends Rana and Nicole shared these ones with me that they like. I plan to start juicing a lot more.

1. My favorite:
2 apples
2 oranges
6 medium carrots
1-inch chunk ginger

2. Waldorf Salad:
2-3 celery stalks
2 Granny Smith apples

3. Cleaning out the fridge:
Carrots
Beets, with greens
A little broccoli
Celery
Kale or collards or wheat grass, if you want extra greenery
Garlic, if you are battling a cold

4. Pop:
Blueberries
Grapes
Ginger
Sparkling water

5. Green Lemonade-Nicole
1 head of romaine lettuce
2 stalks celery
1 lemon
Few sprigs of kale
1 or 2 apples
1-2 inches of fresh ginger
Other veggies if you want, carrots, cucumber, squash

Can always add a little honey to sweeten

Buckwheatie Bars

Posted on February 9, 2007 by Jenni| Leave a comment

We like to have healthy, preferably raw snacks around the house for those moments when one of us is thinking about being naughty sometime before the next meal! This is another recipe my friends Rana and Jana shared with me from Serene Allison’s raw cookbook “Rejuvenate Your Life.” A cookbook that I need to get my hands on! Jana gave me a taste of hers and they were very tasty!

Buckwheaties are the base for this recipe: Sprout buckwheat for two days. Rinse and drain well. Dehydrate thoroughly.

4 cups buckwheaties
1 c. raw honey
1/2-3/4 c. tahini
3/4 c. or more of golden flax meal (golden flax seeds ground in your coffee grinder)
Goodies (raisins, chopped dates, un-sulfured apricots, chopped walnuts and almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, whole flax seeds, Goji berries, pine nuts, Go wild!)

Mix all together. If it seems too dry, add more tahini and flax meal to bind. Put it all in a greased Pyrex plate. Freeze. When it is frozen, score into granola bars, and place in covered container until you want some. Keep frozen or refrigerated.

Squash Bisque

Posted on February 9, 2007 by Jenni| Leave a comment

Another delicious recipe that my friend Rana shared with me!
8 c. winter squash
1 can chicken broth or 2 TBS chicken flavor
milk
1 c. carrots
1 peeled potato
1/2 c. onion
parsley
salt
pepper
garlic

Cook all vegetables in chicken broth.  You may need to add water here.  You may have to precook the squash in order to get the skin off so that you can chop it and add it with all the other veggies to be cooked in the broth.  Strain, saving broth.  Blend veggies in blender, adding broth if necessary to get it moving.  Add mixture to pot, adding milk and broth to desired consistency.  If you want to be really naughty, use cream instead of milk.  Add seasonings; adjust flavor.  You can add butter for an option and sprinkle with a bit of chopped parsley.

My friend Rana made this for a get together we had a couple of weeks ago and it was refreshing and delicious. It was kind of a hearty salsa like dish that we ate with tortilla chips but I think I would cook up some rice and eat it for dinner it was so delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe Rana!

1 can shoepeg corn
1 can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
2 avocados, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
2/3 cup chopped cilantro
2/3 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, pressed
3/4 tsp. salt (she used sea salt)

Prepare all ingredients and toss together, serve with tortilla chips, on a rice and beans dish or just by itself, enjoy!
