Pomegranate's

Last year we moved into a house with 3 amazing Pomegranate trees. I was completely fascinated by how they started out. I thought I would share how a pomegranate evolves from the beginning. After they are green they turn into shades of red. They are ready to eat when they lose there "waxy" shine. The heavier the pomegranate the better. You can leave them in boxes etc for up to a few months. If you wait and leave them out for a week or more they will be sweeter. We had great success last year selling them for school field trips and we will be doing that this year as well. They start to be ready in October so be prepared to get yours before they are gone. Smoothie tip - I separated sections and froze them in baggies so I can throw them in smoothies all year long. They also help your green smoothies not be green so the kids are more likely to drink them.

Blend Tec Mix N Blend II

I totally have to give a shout out to this amazing machine. After months of research, decision making and deciding if the cost was worth it. I went for it last week and it was delivered yesterday. I have only used the blender part but I was truly in heaven. Since December I have gone through some major food changes in my diet. Cutting out many items which proved to make me feel sooo much better and has made many of my headaches vanish. In this change I have relied heavenly on spinach smoothies. If you have never tried one don't mock. They are delicious and so good for you. The problem was I would add the spinach, (do a load of dishes) add the fruit (fold some laundry) and add the ice (run to the store) at the end of all of that the blender was finally done mixing and there were still big clumps of spinach. (I didn't actually run to the store), Today with my totally fabulous mix and blend II my spinach smoothie was done in under 30 seconds. Can you believe it. I was to thrilled. The mixer is suppose to be truly one of a kind and I will try that out later today. On my list today, Almond Milk & Gluten free/ Egg free cookies. If you have a blender recipe I would love to have it. How do you use your blender?

Here goes nothin!

I really have no idea what I am doing as far as having a blog goes. I hope is it worth your time. Maybe it will be an outlet for me or at least a way to show off my scrapbooks. Who knows.
