This juicing recipe does not yield pretty looking juice, but it’s healthy and pretty tasty. I wondered what Bok Choy would taste like juiced, and it’s not too strong (reminiscent of celery).
Grapefruit and Fennel juice

Spiced Red Lentils with Sweet Potatoes and Yams: A vegan slow cooker meal
Lentil dishes are some of my favorite in the cold months, and there is nothing more warming than sweet potatoes and yams. It’s like being wrapped in a warm blanket. Recently I made a meal in the slow cooker made with green lentils, and wanted to make a similarly spiced dish with the softer red […]
