Corny voiceover voice: Do you consider yourself a smoothie lover? Me: "Yes, yes, yes!" You too? Smoothie cheers to that! And since I literally wrote the book on smoothie-making, I want to share with you what I think are the ten things every smoothie lover should have in their kitchen. So hop in your kitchen and give your smoothie tools, ingredients and goodies a good look to see how many of these ten items on my list you already have, which ones you want to add soon and which ones will be on your "smoothie kitchen dream list." ..Everyone needs a smoothie kitchen...

This is a great salad that we enjoyed last night. Turnips are a vegetable we have just discovered and have been enjoying, especially raw in salads. White turnips, also known as May turnips are seasonal both in the springtime, and in fall. We are looking forward to having more and growing our own.

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. medium white turnips
• 2 organic apples
• 1 small bunch spring onions
• 1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted
• a few lettuce leaves as a bed for the salad

for the dressing:

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons mild grainy mustard
• 1-2 tablespoons ginger syrup or agave with ginger powder
• 6 tablespoons fine olive oil

Directions:

1. Chop the walnuts and lightly toast in a dry pan.
2. When done, remove from the pan and set aside for later.
3. Make the dressing by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl.
4. Slice the spring onions.
5. Wash the turnips and peel them.
6. Thinly slice the turnips (I used a mandolin).
7. Wash the apples, quarter them and remove the seeds/core. Thinly slice the apples, leaving the skin on for a bit of color in the salad.
8. Place the lettuce leaves on individual salad plates.
9. Arrange the turnip and apple slices on the lettuce.
10. Sprinkle the spring onion pieces over the salad, then the walnut pieces.
11. Drizzle the salad dressing on top and serve the rest of the dressing in a carafe for people to add as they wish.

Notes:

This dressage is particularly nice on the salad, and would be good on other salads with fruit as well.

The low chuckle followed by a head shake. I've come to know it well. It's the reaction friends have when they stop by and get a glimpse at how this project has overrun our house. The towers of boxes, the tape guns, the bins of favorite things - it's all a bit much. I can't help but think of QUITOKEETO as my pretty little monster, one who only has an appetite for physical space. So, we've been on the lookout for the perfect place to move it, for months. And months. I drastically underestimated how long the process would take, but thankfully, we may have finally found just the spot. Please cross your fingers - I'd love to be able to have house guests again. We did the last round of shipments from the dining room and kitchen island, and I thought you might like a look at the process. In the midst of it all, we always try to break for a quick lunch, and this last time I threw together a ruby-hued fruit salad made with beautiful sweet cherries (and sweeter strawberries!), all from the weekend farmers' market.

I ground a bit of brown sugar with coriander seeds to add to it, liking the way the coriander's citrusy, green notes played off the flavor of the strawberries and cherries. Just a little tweak, but enough to bring a hint of unexpectedness to a bowl of radiant, seasonal fruit.

There are a lot of stairs between here and the UPS cart down below ;)....praying our next space is street level.

I'm going to try to pull together a favorites list before the weekend. Until then! xo-h

Förstår inte så mycket spanska (märkligt hur lite spår mina tre år med spanska i gymnasiet har satt...) men eftersom filmen kommer från Igualdad Animal så måste den ju vara bra.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum Demands Justice for Abused Rats and Reptiles By: Linsday Pollard-Post, Senior Writer at PETA

Actor and mom-to-be Jenna Dewan-Tatum has joined PETA and the more than 30,000 compassionate people who are calling for cruelty to animals charges against those responsible for abusing thousands of rats and reptiles at California’s Global Captive Breeders, LLC (GCB).

For more than two months, a PETA undercover investigator exposed systemic neglect, cruelty, filth, crowding, deprivation, and stress at GCB. Workers at GCB routinely grabbed rats by the tail and slammed them against hard surfaces in attempts to kill them. They threw the animals into trash bins or into a reptile's cage while they were still alive and convulsing.

The crowded tubs that housed rats flooded virtually on a daily basis, drowning countless rats and leaving hundreds of others—exhausted, shivering, and terrified—to struggle to keep their heads above the rising water.

Snakes and other reptiles at GCB were so neglected that, in many cases, even their deaths went unnoticed by management for days, leaving enclosures and rotting carcasses teeming with maggots. The entire facility reeked of ammonia, death, and decay.

Based on PETA’s findings, law-enforcement officials seized more than 18,000 rats and 600 reptiles from GCB last December with help from PETA and other animal protection organizations—the largest seizure of rats in U.S. history and the largest-ever seizure of animals in California. Yet, to this day, no cruelty charges have been filed against those responsible for abusing these animals.

In addition to signing PETA’s petition calling on Riverside County, California, District Attorney Paul Zellerbach to file felony cruelty charges against those responsible for abusing animals at GCB, Jenna sent a personal plea to Zellerbach, writing:

As an expectant mother, I was particularly heartbroken to see photos of ailing mother rats with open wounds on their bodies who stood guard protectively over their dead or dying babies in the filthy plastic tubs that they were confined to without access to adequate food, water, or even moderately fresh air to breathe… Justice must be served for the unspeakable suffering endured by countless animals at GCB.

Here’s how you can help: •    Please join PETA and Jenna Dewan-Tatum in politely urging Zellerbach to file criminal charges against all appropriate parties without further delay.

•    Never patronize stores that sell live animals and urge your friends and family not to either by sharing this investigation with them. The cruelty uncovered by PETA's investigator at GCB is typical of the filth, crowding, deprivation, and stress that PETA's investigations of pet-trade suppliers have documented over and over again.

 

Will you help by signing this petition?

My whirlwind trip to NYC is just about to come to a close. (I'm typing this from my hotel room, and my plane leaves in about ... 8 hours.) Three nights alone in a hotel room could seem a bit daunting, but not when you are in NYC surrounded by amazing people, food, events and this city I love so much. This morning I was thrilled to speak at The Seed event in SoHo with my BFF Gena of Choosing Raw. We had so much fun and thank you to everyone who came out to see us on this VERY rainy Sunday. Ahead I have plenty of photos to share with you from my trip!..Read more » This is a summary, images and full post available on HHL website!

Adriana of  Vegan Magic has come up with a really tasty burger that is so simple to make. We really enjoyed these tonight for dinner.

They had a nice spiciness, lots of flavor, and a nice crunch from the walnuts.  We enjoyed them as patties, but they’d be great on a bun. or rolled into small balls and used as an appetizer, finger food for a party or even just a snack.

I am super excited to launch my Healthy Happy Tee Store! I have seriously been living in these tees since they arrived on my doorstep a few days ago. These tees are both super soft and perfect for those days when you just want to throw on a pair of jeans or leggings and a soft, fun, colorful tee. No-fuss hair and not a stitch of makeup on! Those are the best days, right? And this is your new fave tee for that happy casual day! Two colors to start things off, heather grey American Apparel track tee and a soft white 50/50 tee. Check out some of my tee pics ... yes I played... This is a summary, images and full post available on HHL website!

lång min filmpaus blev btw.

familj bor i hus. mamma vaknar med konstiga saker i köket mitt i natten. barnen får blackouts och nån alien stör familjens övervakningskamera. pappan får näsblod. slutet fattade jag noll av.

2/5 c:n

dags för den här nu!

betyg 3,5/5 c:n

helt pkej, och mjuk att sjunka in i. samtidigt så ligger det en obehaglig dimma under nästan hela filmen och man är konstant nyfiken på vad det är, vilket man inte får reda på i slutet. grät i slutet. men jag spoilar i vilken typ av gråt det var. tyvärr så var killen i filmen inte min smak av man.

men men.

kommer inte lämna sängen idag.

pushi e redo för filmgos.
