Over the weekend I tried out freshly juiced fruit and vegetable shakes. I don't normally like the taste of vegetable juice, but I "bravely" bought a large cup. I felt "healthy" just drinking that juice! It had romaine lettuce, ginger, bananas and pineapple. It was fibrous, but overall, the taste was good.
This morning, I've been searching the internet for some recipes so I can prepare some at home, especially over the Lenten holidays. Time to cut down on the soda and recharge with some home made (and preferably organic) juice. While some veggies that are used in many recipes seem unappetizing to me (think red beets, parsley, radish), there are still so many vegetables that can be mixed with fruit to come up with a yummy shake. I plan to make a shake with romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumber, celery and ginger. Of course, not all those veggies in 1 shake.
I'm still looking for recipes and I'll try to experiment this week. If I'm able to successfully make a yummy shake, it will be posted here for sure.

Staying Put on Holy Week
For the first time in several years, we are staying home during Holy Week. It's a much welcome respite for me, after several weeks of no rest (no weekends!).
Aside from rest and going to church, I also have a list of things I want accomplished:
1. Clean out the ref. I hope I won't find anything that's growing already. Eek.
2. Have photos printed and organize in albums. I'm so behind with this project.
3. Work on IB.
4. Teach the new helper on how we do things around the house, house rules, etc.
5. Catch up on some movies.
How about you, what are your plans?
