Ringing in 2010
Happy New Year Everyone! Wishing you a wonderful 2010! How did you celebrate? I rang in the new year like never before. Normally I go out and party until all hours of the night, but on this December 31, Adam and I started a juice fast. We decided on this just days prior, and spent Dec 29 and 30 eating the leftovers from our dinner party. On the 30th, we had what felt like a day long dessert fest to finish the last of it. Lunch consisted of banana & vanilla ice creams, coconut whipped cream, strawberry sauce, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and celery to round it out...OH and with one young coconut to be used up, I blended it with some caramel sauce to make a yummy pudding. We munched on a few pieces of raw chocolate during the afternoon, ate greens/spirulina/celery for dinner, and for dessert we finished the same of what we ate for lunch in addition to a piece of leftover xmas fruitcake . Whew, talk about going all out. Surprisingly I felt absolutely fine from all this feasting...

Your sauerkraut looks like it's going to be good. We have a fresh jar on our kitchen counter as we speak.
Hi - love your blog!<br /><br />I use some miso to get the probiotics rolling. <br /><br />The smell while it is percolating is a bit strong, but so worthy it! <br /><br />I have a tutorial on my site too, it is an older post - just scroll down a couple of posts:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.creativelifeskills.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-11-18T20%3A11%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=5" rel="nofollow">www.creativelifeskills.blogspot.com</a>

Happy New Year! I think a juice feast sounds like a wonderful and refreshing way to start the new year. Everything looks delicious, especially that sauerkraut!
Good luck on your fast!! I usually only make it 3 days! :)<br /><br />Love sauerkraut, I usually buy it raw, but never made my own!<br /><br />You look like a goddess in that pic, your hair is so beautiful!!
Happy post holiday and new year. Good luck with that cleanse. Lucky for me, I can't do one while breastfeeding. I need those raw desserts sometimes just to keep up with the little girls growing needs :-)
You go girl! I need to do a bit of a detox as well. The little cacao treats and excessive nuts have a way of catching up with me, yikes! Stay warm! Hope the kraut turns out well : )
