About Me

I started this blog to keep track of my kitchen creations. I love cooking and eating. In 2008 I was diagnosed with RA. Food started becoming a huge problem. I needed to find a better way to eat the flavors I love. All the recipes I create are driven by my desire to eat good food that won't create extra pain and inflammation in my internal ecosystem. While the recipes are wholesome, the language is not. I swear. I use the word 'fuck'. A lot! I make no apologies for that. It's just a fair warning. I'm raw and real. Happy cooking! Even happier eating! Cheers! Angie

MACKENZIE'S MAGIC POTION Fresh Juice

My daughter decided she wanted to throw a bunch of citrus fruit in the juicer to see what happens.  She, supprisingly, added fruits that she won't normally eat.  This recipe makes a lot. 

2 blood oranges, zested
2 navel oranges, zested
2 lemons
2 limes
2 granny smith apples
2 red delicious apples

Juice all the fruit.  Serve as is.

For a lemonade-type drink, add 2-3 cups of water (depends on your taste) and about 2 tablespoons of agave syrup.  Stir well and refrigerate for 2 hours.

PINKALICIOUS Succo-Frullato

 SUCCO-FRULLATO.  It is the combination of succo which means juice in Italian and frullato which means smoothie in Italian.  It will encompass anything I make that uses both the juicer and blender.  Yes, I can buy bottled juice but I don't because I have no idea where it's coming from.  I'd rather take the extra few minutes and use both machines.  And lets be honest....I just rinse everythig in scalding hot water right away.  I throw stuff in the dishwasher maybe once every other week.

1 apple
2 blood oragnges, zest removed
3 stalks of celery

Juice all of these in your juicer then pour into the blender.  Add to it 1 banana and 6 strawberries.  Blend well!

BLOOD LUST Fresh Juice

1 blood orange
1 pear
1 apple
1 red plum
1 lime
1/4 to 1/2 cup of blackberries

Use a carrot peeler to get the zest off of the blood orange. Keep the white pith on. You don't have to peel the apple or pear. If you have a juicer that has a chute big enough for the whole fruit, just juice everything one by one except the berries. Process the berries in the blender with the juice.
