I need more GREENS!
It’s summertime and for most of North America that means enjoying longer days in the warm sunshine and shopping at the farmer’s market. I love the Summer, but I miss the variety of greens that I enjoy in the Fall, Winter and Spring. In San Antonio it is way too hot in the summer to…
Trying durian for the first time
A few weeks ago I tried durian for the first time. Durian, also known as “the king of fruits”, grows in tropical climates and is native to Indonesia and Malaysia.

Reflecting on my juice feast
Well I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve been trying to process all that I went through with the juice feast. I had a lot of trouble drinking the recommended 16 cups of juice. I had my ups and downs some days I wanted to quit and others I enjoyed the process. It was difficult…
Day 5 of my juice feast, I'm half way there!
Well today I’m feeling some detox symptoms. I’m nauseous , my skin is breaking out and I have a rash. I’m feeling pretty cranky! Plus my new juicer is really taking a long time to get here. My old one is starting to overheat, it’s driving me crazy. I really need my new one hopefully…
