Pleasantly Pink Juice...


This is the most beautiful juice.  I love the pink color and it tastes absolutely scrumptious.  I have been trying to put more raw food into my diet and juicing is a great way to do just that.  You get all of the vitamins and flavors, and it makes your skin glow.  I needed a big boost of vitamin C a few weeks ago and this did the trick.  I snagged a similar recipe from This Rawsome Vegan Life and now I am hooked.

An awesome side effect of juicing is that you crave sugar a whole lot less.  When you do snag a little sugary snack, it tastes way too sweet, and you are stunned at how sugar packed it is.  Juice has a way of resetting your tastebuds.  Let's face it, I need all the resetting I can get to keep me eating healthy and glowing!  Another side effect is energy, oodles of it.  I feel so energized when I juice.  I love that feeling!

As for juicers, I don't have the million dollar juicer.  I have a mid-grade one that does the trick.  One day I hope to have the one that dances on your counter and sings while it juices, I am hoping it folds laundry too.  A juicer is an investment that I can justify.  It makes a huge difference in your health.  I am a big advocate for nutrition; juicing is so packed with life and nutrition, there is no way you can go wrong...

Raspberry Cream Crumble Pie...

Raspberries, creamy filling, crumble topping, and delicate pie crust.  Can you handle this?  Wow!  This is one of those fantastic recipes that I will make each year during the height of raspberry season, yep, it's that good.  I am completely in love! I have to say that the raspberries are the most important piece of this puzzle, it requires very fresh, ripe, and sweet raspberries.  A farmer friend of mine was able to get some glorious little jewels from a farmer friend of his in Oregon yesterday.  These berries are divine, ripened in the sun and carefully picked.  I know that they are not local, but really, they are from a friend of a friend and a small sustainable organic berry farm.  It doesn't get much better than that!  Make sure you get berries grown on a farm that were picked a day or two ago at their peak.  You will have an amazing tasting pie if you do! I switched the original recipe just a bit.  The crust was made with shortening and egg; I am not a fan

Keeping Bees Through the Winter...

Image
With all of this snow and cold temperatures I have been concerned about our bees.  This is our third year keeping bees, and we have not been successful through the winter.  Our first year, we got a swarm very late in the season, and they were not well established when winter hit.  The second year, the hive was blown over in a horrible wind storm with 103 mile-per-hour winds. This year, so far, so good.  We knocked on the side of the hive this morning and the bees buzzed back.  I am so hopeful. I wanted to share what we did to improve the chances of survival for our hive.  People say that you don't need to do anything for them in the winter, but with the luck we have had, we decided it was better to be safe than sorry.  We put three bales of straw around the hive with a gap between the bales and the hive to promote air flow.  We get so much snow at the farm (we usually have at least 3-feet before the winter is over), we thought it would be better to create some kind of roof

Chicken Tractor...

Image
How many of you have heard about a chicken tractor?  If you are not in the know, it is a marvelous idea: a mobile home for chickens that you can move around a yard (large or small), giving your chickens opportunity to range without wandering far off.    We have seventy chickens at the farm.  With so many girls, we occasionally get an injured or picked on bird.  These girls need a sanctuary away from the pecking order that can become vicious and eventually deadly for a chicken that isn't quite normal.  These girls that need a little extra TLC end up in my backyard.  If they can rehabilitate they are eventually moved back to the farm.  We have a few that can't go back, and they become permanent residents.  We have a blind chicken named Helen and a chick with hip dysplasia named Dot.  These two girls will stay here forever.  I have a small yard, 0.25-acre, and these rehab girls make a marvelous mess of my little plot.  We also have a border collie that loves to herd the girls
