what i am eating #11

I love cooking and eating, and I especially love looking at pictures of food!  If you love food as much as I do, please add your food pictures/recipes/food related posts to the linky below.  All you have to do is link back to this blog post.  I look forward to seeing what everyone else is eating this week!


I did a detox last weekend.  It was a 3 day detox through the Hungry For Change documentary website.  It didn’t really seem like a detox, which made it 100 times better for me.  I liked to think of it as a kick start to eating healthier.  I have been moving towards a mainly plant-based diet for some time now, and this was a great way to keep working on that path.  It was pretty much a green juice for breakfast, salad for lunch, and soup for dinner.  Overall, really really great.  But, the thing that I wanted to share with you today is the green juice.

I have been making green smoothies for a while now, and my family loves them.  My kids request them all the time, and I couldn’t be happier to blend up some kale and fruit for my kids.  I was a little concerned moving towards green juice, mainly because I had heard so many people say that it was bitter and hard to drink with kale in it.  Luckily, I had saved up enough amazon gift cards through my very awesome swagbucks account to purchase a juicer online back in December.  Best. Purchase. Ever.

I absolutely love juicing now, and this juicer is quite good for a mid-range model I think.  I wasn’t sure how the rest of my family would feel about juicing, but surprisingly, everyone loves it.  Jack especially.  I will make a juice for me, and he ends up drinking the whole thing.  So now I have to make sure to have enough juice for everyone – which does get kind of pricey.

The benefits of juicing are so many, that I don’t mind spending a little extra money in order to keep us healthy.

Green Juice ~ 1 pint


2 large kale leaves
1 cucumber
1 handful parsley
3 celery stalks
1 apple cored
1 lemon peeled

Do you juice?  Have you watched Hungry For Change?  It really is an amazing documentary.  Link up your food posts below!

    OOh sounds great! I've been wanting to juice, but don't have a juicer and know it's sort of spendy….so I've stuck with the almost daily smoothie. It sounds and looks amazing though and I bet it's an awesome way to get good stuff in the kiddos 🙂

    We juice a lot but I've never done a cleanse. My hubby repairs juicers and we test each one with a few glasses of juice, but haven't made a lifestyle of it yet. This is inspiring – the pictures look mouth watering. I linked up my blog, Several Gardens' Farm, a story about buttermilk. But it will be clear I'm no photographer; I so admire story telling with pictures but I don't have the hang of it yet!

    Yes, we juice! My husband loves it. I love hearing that your kids like juice, too! That's so great. Your recipe sounds a lot like ours. I haven't ever used lemon but I'll have to try it next time 🙂

    Definitely intrigued by the idea of the juicer, looks like a great one!!! Plus so much more economical in the long run then Odwalla or Bolthouse Farms!!!!

As we think about getting back to homeschool, I ha As we think about getting back to homeschool, I have been researching @studydotcom a lot. They offer options for your homeschooler to earn college credit while in high school, and I am thinking about this for my high schooler. 

I also really like all of the options to supplement our homeschool curriculum with their video lessons and study guides. I think this is going to be a huge help as we move through high school! 

They have options for kindergarten through college, so really something for everyone!

When I was choosing curriculum for this coming yea When I was choosing curriculum for this coming year I thought I was totally on top of things, just to realize when I was laying everything out that I totally forgot to get science for my 7th grader. 🤦🏼‍♀️

We chatted a bit about what he wanted to do, and what he decidedly DID NOT want to do, and we came up with the #scienceunlocked kits from @homesciencetools 

I am sharing an unboxing of the four kits we chose as well as my first thoughts.

I think that it is going to be a great science year for him!
