This Weekend we went to Mission To Missionaries in Crossville Tn. It was beautiful there! You can visit their website Here . We had a lovely Easter weekend and had a very good hike along a creek that had several waterfalls.
A blog about healthy living, weight loss, eating healthy, being a Christian, reading, and simple living.

Kidney Stones
Well i have had the experience of having kidney stones. Talk about very painful!! I believe i got them from having a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). So after lots of water and lemon juice they passed.
On another note i have a friend who is doing ministry and if you could donate some $ i know she could use it to go on a mission trip. Here is her blog http://angelinakerns.blogspot.com/ Check it out!

Midnight...BBQ?
So tonight i was getting some fresh made gluten free brownies in zip locks to take with us this weekend. But while doing that i accidentally knocked over my liquid smoke that i use in stews, chili's and such. Well i guess the lid wasn't on as tight as i thought and half of it spilled on the floor. It instantly smelled like the 4th of July with about 30 BBQ's at once. My husband had the bright idea of covering up the smell, after i cleaned it up, with peppermint oil. "Yeah that's a great idea!" So i poured some peppermint oil on the floor, hoping it would smell like peppermint instead of BBQ. But instead it smells like barbecued peppermint. Very odd smelling. And i spilled some on my foot. And after being sick for a week, today was my first day i could smell stuff. Whew, does it smell strong. Next time, i will clear everything from within arms length of me before i put brownies away, that way it doesn't smell like a BBQ at midnight again.

Long time no post...
I know it's been over a week since i posted last. In that time we have traveled from North Carolina to California and back. As soon as we got back i came down with some sort of sickness. Just on the mend now. Thanks to gross airport food, which i didn't have much choice but to eat since we spent 2 days in the airport. I also leave Friday to go to Tennessee to be with family for around 10 days or more. Maybe my mom and i can post a few raw recipes with a few pictures. I can't wait to get back and start juicing again! I also lost my job at the health food store, so i am no searching for another one. A lot of stuff going on right now! I did make some Gluten free lemon poppyseed muffins though!
Quick Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
1 package vanilla gluten free cake mix
2/3 cups poppyseeds
Juice of 1 lemon and zest
3 Eggs (or egg replacement)
1/3 cup oil (coconut or olive)
If cake mix is not sweetened add organic sugar Or honey or natural sweetener of choice.
These bake at 350 for 10-15 min. Yields around 2 dozen.

Carrot Juice You Can't Beet
Carrot Beet Juice
3 Carrots
1/2 Beet with Greens
3-5 Celery sticks
1 Apple
Juice and enjoy!
Well i will be ending my juice fast this week. I need time to adjust to eating solid food from not eating all week. So Wednesday i'll be eating for the first time in a little over a week. I'm feeling great, more energy, and lost some weight. But i do look forward to eating solid food again. I got a new juicer on Friday. I got the Breville Juice fountain plus. It works way better than my old one! Way more juice from it too. Well that's my little update for today! Happy Juicing!

Happy Friday!
So yesterday was super hard for me. I was just really hungry all day. I wanted to quit. But i haven't. And first thing this morning i juiced. I did the Sunset Blend Juice found here. It was so delicious and energizing! I am hoping today i can get my new juicer! Sadly, next weekend i will have to stop for a few days, we are going to California for a funeral. But i plan to eat 100% Veggies.
Another random note. I took the end of the lettuce i had used previously and put it in water, and it's starting to grow! I'm thinking about having several going and having a living salad bar. We shall see how far i get on that.
