Deliciousness: Vegetables...drink up!

Our vegetable intake has skyrocketed since we got a juicer. Jude is on a tear these days, buying bags and bags of fruits and veggies at the farmers' markets and shoving them all through that juicer in various combos...some of them significantly more delicious than others! I am pretty sure that between these three juices he made for us for breakfast, there are beets, beet greens, cucumbers, oranges, cantaloupe, carrots, celery...and probably lots of other random things I'm forgetting.

Here's the juicer we got, which we're in love with. It's super easy to use and clean and works crazy well. Also, the pulp left behind makes great compost!

Deliciousness: Eat, drink, and be mommy!

My husband is a chef. I, on the other hand, have very few skills in the kitchen. When Jude is working and I need to feed myself and Ruby, I struggle to find things that don't come in boxes that are healthful and fun for us to eat...Then, along came The Petit Appetit. Amazingly simple and joyful foods and meals in here that even I can make for Ruby! GREAT resource for domestically-disabled mommyfolk like me.

Here is a post (with recipes!) I wrote about this book over a year ago on an old blog I quit writing.

The second book is about party foods for entertaining kids, but I have found it useful for everyday food as well.
