I think this winter has been awful for everyone experiencing winter this time of year. . . we've had more snow this winter than the last 2 combined, apparently (and can you tell that I feel exactly the same way you do about cold, ice, and snow??).

Well, there’s nothing wrong with getting your veggies from soup, so I say if that’s what you prefer, why not? I think this winter has been awful for everyone experiencing winter this time of year. . . we’ve had more snow this winter than the last 2 combined, apparently (and can you tell that I feel exactly the same way you do about cold, ice, and snow??).

The mere idea of anything raw turns me off this time of year. In the winter all I want is tea and hot soup (can you tell I'm in the midst of my first cold winter in a decade?--and it's not even that cold around here!). Thanks for the suggestions though, perhaps I will give it another try. Good point, although it almost isn’t a vegetable temperature thing.

Luckily for me, we get a box of the stuff every week, so I tend to use the veggies that aren't put to other use in my juices. Generally, though, because the nutrients are so intensified, you don't need much juice to achieve a lot of nutrition. And it's often the less expensive veggies (carrots, beets, celery) that are best in juice. If you combine veggies that naturally have a lot of water (such as lettuce or cucumber) with the others, then you extend the juice as well. I would definitely recommend giving it a try--ginger and beets in particular are great for the liver! Sally, It was a lovely, sweet little place, I have to admit, and I'd recommend going some time if you can. But hey, you get to live without all this snow and ice, so I'm jealous of that!! ;) Lisa, Thanks so much. The battle does continue, but I'm determined! Annie, Thanks for the words of encouragement, which are a great motivator! I can't imagine that any recipe with the word "Moosewood" in it is NOT from the Moosewood restaurant! Also, thanks for the meme-tag! I promise to get to my answers in the next few days. . . just a bit mid-term crazy over here right now! Suzie,

I have a recipe that has Moosewood in the name...Moosewood fudge brownies...but we won't go into any detail about those here! I do wonder though if it has a connection to the Moosewood Restaurant? That granola looks absolutely wonderful! Also, I tagged you for a short little Meme and if you would like to participate, the details are on my post entitled "123 Book Meme" Hey Ricki:

The author talks about natural supplements and different foods that aid in liver function. The biggest thing he keeps mentioning is daily juicing and a bi-annual juice fast. I've been reading a lot about this sort of thing and I'm dying to go out and buy my juicer. What worries me, though, is not the expensive juicer or the washing of the juicer but how expensive it's going to be to constantly buy fresh, organic produce. It's something I do anyway, but I use it in my cooking or eat a couple pieces of fruit a day. Added to that, daily juicing is going to get pricey. Either way, I've decided to give it a go. Carrot ginger sounds great to me! It’s a coincidence you mention juicing because I’ve been reading a book about detoxifying the body.

Will take a look and participate asap! (And I loved every minute of my holistic nutrition year--sigh!) VeggieGirl, I actually thought about you as I was writing about leaving chocolate behind. I am looking forward to many happy times with carob (even if it is just a rebound affair for me!). Karen,

VeggieGirl,

when there’s carob, there’s no need to feel deprived of chocolate (in my humble opinion, at least, since I’m obsessed with carob, haha).
