Pin this recipe for later! Carrots + oranges + lemon + ginger root + turmeric root = liquid sunshine. I mean, it's straight goodness. An instant mood booster. This juice recipe is sweet, tart, and with a slight "bite" from fresh ginger root. You can certainly give it more than a slight bite if you are a ginger lover.

Baked Chicken Drumsticks
Soooo this week is a tragic for me. It's the first week that I officially feel chilled to the bone. Ok, ok so calling it a tragedy is probably a little dramatic, I know. I know.

I despise being cold. When fall weather hits, and my hands and the tip of … [Read more...]

I'm clearly particular. Here's what I've found helps me to make a … [Read more...]

Roasted Carrots with Lemon-Cumin-Honey Glaze
Just look at these carrots! All cute and ready to be roasted. I found them at our local natural/organic grocery store on a day where I went shopping only knowing I need about 6 different veggies, but I just wanted to go and see what looked good.

With produce, I often get there to find that what I wanted looks sad … [Read more...]
