No matter what I tell myself before I go to my parents' house for their New Year's get-together, I always seem to overindulge. Last night I pigged out on these delicious mushroom-bacon stuffed phyllo shells that I made and also on chorizo (spanish sausage) and cheese-----not to mention drinking several screwdrivers. Today I feel sluggish. No, it's not the screwdrivers. For some weird reason, vodka barely affects me. It's all the junk I ate.
So, what's the plan for today? I am going to drink a lot of veggie juice which I will be making myself with the help of my son Luke, who loves to use the juicer. Carrots, broccoli and apples perhaps? That should be tasty. We are new to juicing in my house, but I think it's great. I got into it after attending a health seminar featuring Miami's local juicing goddess, Dr. Etti (creator of the "Sexi Juicing" program) and David Wolfe. Check them both out at http://www.dretti.com/ and http://www.davidwolfe.com/ It was a very interesting talk about the benefits of juicing, healthy eating, and the contaminants in our food and environment. It was not a talk to send one into panic mode, but only to raise awareness as to how we can improve our diets and overall environment a step at a time.
Well, I've got to go. Time to juice! :)
