I like to mix this baby up in the AM because I feel like I'm drinking all of the healthy things I need in one fell swoop, and am thus giving myself permission to eat cupcakes and fried chicken for the rest of the day. (Nutritionists tell me that is not how that works, but I disagree.) I love all things spicy, and when I sip this it almost feels like I'm drinking a jalapeƱo margarita with my breakfast (not gonna lie, I did in fact use the leftover jalapeƱos from my homemade spicy tequila for a few mornings, so I guess they were morning margaritas. I choose to call them "Tequila-Flavored Green Juices.") But this recipe is alcohol-free because it's Dry January and we're all trying to be "new me's" in this new year! So sip on, and know you're giving your body the nutrients it needs to fight those cupcake/fried chicken/tequila binges.View Article

Tony and I spent a long weekend eating our faces off in Austin and I'm less than five months from having to squeeze myself into a wedding dress (1.5 months from my first fitting). In retrospect, eating breakfast tacos and ice cream every day may not have been the wisest choice. NO REGRETS! It was worth it. I just have to pay penance now. I keep hearing that people who have their act together start their day with a green juice or smoothie, and I recently read in some trashy mag (probably Us Weekly) that Victoria's Secret models drink daily green smoothies with Spirulina powder blended in. I'd like to look like a Victoria's Secret model, so while at the airport eating my last cup of ice cream, I overnighted a package of the green stuff to myself. From some light Googling, it's my understanding that Spirulina is pond algae, and the top two ingredients are protein and omega fatty acids, qualifying it as a "superfood."View Article
