Juicing Recipes - Ultimate Juice Recipe Resouce

Greetings from sunny California! I’m here for a blog conference on behalf of Overstock.com , who I learned has WAY MORE to offer than just furniture and home goods, like this adorable  hideaway dog (or cat) bed ottoman that I might purchase for my office for Murphy, so he doesn’t need  to sit on my lap while I work. Thirty pound dog + hours of sitting at computer + a bad back = no bueno. So, I had quite the full day of travel from Boston to Santa Barbara on Tuesday (I set my alarm for 3:31 AM), so I wanted to share my eats from the day. Traveling cross-country always makes me  super hungry. Maybe it’s because I’m sitting on a plane with nothing else to do? Or maybe there’s just so many options TO EAT while waiting at the airport/during layovers? Or maybe because I gain an extra 3 hours flying westward, so I just need more food to fuel my day? It’s probably a combination of all these things, but, ultimately, I’m just HUNGRY. ...

By now, you’ve no doubt heard of CRISPR, the latest gene-editing tool sweeping research labs across the globe. It was first discovered in certain strains of bacteria, who use it as an important weapon against dangerous viruses. In bacteria, CRISPR identifies a virus that poses a threat, records the virus’ genetic data and imprints it onto RNA molecules. An immune enzyme called Cas9 grabs one of the RNA molecules and goes exploring. When Cas9 encounters a virus that matches the data on the RNA molecule, it latches on and slices the virus in half to prevent it from replicating and posing any threat. Researchers have co-opted the CRISPR/Cas9 mechanism to edit genes. Instead of copying dangerous viral DNA sequences onto the RNA molecules, they can copy over any sequence they want to edit. And instead of Cas9 destroying viruses, it makes precise cuts and removes specific bits of genetic data from the designated sequence. This allows researchers to target ...

For the past decade, I’ve been getting by with a $25 smallish slow cooker that I purchased from the grocery store. Recently I relocated, leaving my kitchen gadgets — including said slow cooker — behind, “forcing” me to buy a new one. Now I am thrilled to be sporting a slow cooker fit with a cook setting that automatically switches to warming mode after the cooking time has elapsed. Game changer. That was $49 well spent. With fall comes peak sweet potato season. This dish highlights the savory side of this root vegetable, brimming with loads of vitamin A in the form of beta carotene, plus potassium and vitamin C. I opt for orange-fleshed taters because, to me, the presentation of a white sweet potato just doesn’t have the same panache. I prefer to use chicken thighs with the bone in (skin removed, of course) in slow-cooked dishes because the result is juicy, tender pieces of meat. The natural gelatin from within the bones lends itself to a simplified bone broth — so good you’ll be s...

^^Check out my new welcome mat ! It’s from Bed, Bath and Beyond, and the dark navy looks SO sharp by our front door with a pot of yellow mums. It’s also a cool curly plastic material, so it isn’t shedding fibers all over the porch. Love it! Smoothie for breakfast! If you follow me on Instagram , you’d know this one was filled with “ goats , salad, and peanut butter!!!” I have no idea why Mazen called oats “goats” but it was soooo cute : ) Still on the eggs and toast train too. Woot woot! I’m still loving these stuffed pitas for lunch! This one had tomato, leftover bacon, sprouts, pickle, mustard, and cheese inside, and I heated it all in the toaster oven. Served with a juicy red plum. Check out this cool phone accessory! It’s called a Popsocket , and the company is owned by blog reader Nikki’s husband. It’s a sticky button that you put on your phone and you can accordion it out to help hold your phone, take selfies, wrap cords around, or act as a stand. When not in ...

Hi guys! On October 30th, I will be participating in spin4 Crohn’s & Colitis Cures , an indoor cycling relay to benefit the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). The CCFA is the leading non-profit organization dedicated to finding cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These diseases are collectively known as IBD or inflammatory bowel disease and there is not cure (yet). Since the organization’s founding in 1967, the CCFA has funded over $285 million in research as well as 194 investigator-initiated research projects with an investment of $28 million in 2015. I know I’ve told this story before on CNC, but it’s worth telling again to emphasize how important this type of research is to patients like myself. When my doctor was hired at MGH in 1996, the only drug options available for IBD patients were steroids and narcotics– both of which are harmful in the long-term. Today, there are so many more options– most which with f...

If you’ve been a long time Food Babe Army member you know, I’ve been investigating Starbucks for a long time and am so happy to report another major victory!
