Like Sausage? Wurstkuche Venice is here....
This place is my new fav spot. A huge list of craft beer, a long list of sausage (duck, rattlesnake anyone?), an industrial space with communal tables and a dj? Yes, please. Go! The line might be long but don't let that deter you....keep in mind those perfectly crispy, belgian fries with the bacon blue cheese dipping sauce will become your newest obsession. Oh and for dessert? Apple ice cream sandwich on oatmeal cookies. Yep. Do it.

Old bread? Make breadcrumbs.
Don't throw away your bread just cuz it's gotten a little too hard. Do throw away if covered in mold ;) If you don't have ducks to feed like we did with our old bread when we were little, put it to good use and make bread crumbs.
Bread crumbs have many uses....to coat meat and chicken before baking, in salads, to add texture to roasted vegetables, in pasta for a bit of crunch, on top of mac and cheese......
Break bread into pieces. Spread onto a cookie sheet. Toss in olive oil, salt and pepper and bake until brown and crunchy.
Seal them tightly and use them in tomorrow's dinner....

This Documentary convinced me to juice: Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
Joe Cross if fat. Joe Cross has a skin condition. Joe Cross takes many, many meds for several problems. Joe Cross is sick of it.
He figures if the body heals itself when you get a scrape, why shouldn't it be able to heal itself from disease?
He sets out on a diet to only eat micro-nutrients, basically vegetables and fruit. He juices an amount of vegetables one could only hope to eat in several days into one glass. These several glasses a day make up his diet.
Now, I'm not saying do a 60 day juice fast, but it got me thinking..... I def do not consume enough vegetables. My plate is never brown and white like most Americans, due to most only eating starch and meat. My plate usually contains some fresh vegetables of the green, red or yellow color. But I really enjoy my meat. AND my potatoes and my veg section is usually the smallest one on the plate. I also tend to get colds pretty often. My immune system isn't the greatest when it comes to the sniffles, a cough etc. So....I have decided to juice everyday this week. I am going to cut out a meal and drink several glasses of kale, tomatoes, spinach, fruit, whatever!
This weekend I juiced an entire bag of spinach, a tomato, 1/2 a bag of carrots and some ginger. Not bad. Tastes pretty good actually. And how long do you think it would take you to eat that many veggies? A few days? A week?
Yesterday, I juiced two huge bundles of kale, beets and 1/2 a bag o' carrots. Today I also juiced 2 oranges, 1/2 a grapefruit, a banana ( i hate bananas on their own) half a lemon, some carrots and a bit of ginger.
Juicing is pretty fun and when you think of all the nutrients you are consuming, you know you are doing something great for your body. WOOHOO! Bring on the health!
Usually on weekend mornings the boyfriend and I will juice carrots, oranges, celery and whatever other fruit we have in the house. Carrots make the juice sweet and work well particularly with greens. Check out many juice recipes here from the documentary: RECIPES
We also have a great juicer that we bought from Bed, Bath and Beyond. (Keep those 20% off coupons that come in the mail) It's made by Breville and actually the one used in the documentary. You can also buy it on Amazon HERE
I won't give away the ending to the film but the results are pretty spectacular to say the least! Check it out on Netflix.
And play around with your own fresh juice, you are doing your body good ;)
