Day 67 - new habits

We started juicing recently and I'm so excited about it!  We are not a vegetable family and it's always worried me.   I've been spending a lot of time over the past month trying to learn more about juicing, healthy cooking and just being wiser about feeding my family.  The things we consume for the sake of convenience are horrible.   I'm making big changes for myself but a slow transition for Ken and the girls.  Every morning the girls drink a glass of carrot-apple or carrot-orange juice now.   The first day it was heavier on the fruit but I've been gradually decreasing the fruit and now it's mostly carrot.  I've been making smoothies (instead of crackers) for afternoon snack and I add spinach to those.  They're a hit and I'm just ecstatic!  This juicer has been such a great addition to our family (thanks Mom and Papi).  I have so much more to learn but I do know that now I want to grow my own garden.  We have the space but I've never had the desire until now.  Love it!

Hmm.. I've always thought of getting one of those. Good for you for making healthy choices!
