Green Juicing
Local readers: you still have time to enter the giveaway for tickets for the Girlnetic Fitness Expo on January 26th! There aren’t many entries so you have a good chance to win! —— On Wednesday, I finally stepped into the world of juicing! I had been wanting a juicer for a while, but I had no clue where to start.

CSA Week 5 – Chioggia Beets
Its Week 5 of our CSA already! Time flies, really. Each week we’ve been getting delicious produce! So far we’ve gotten lots of spinach, lettuces, garlic scapes, radishes, broccoli, and beets! This week I got double the vegetables since my friend, who also participates, is on vacation. She let us pick up her share. In this week’s bag: baby bok choy, boy choy, radishes, yellow squash, beets, zucchini, lettuce & snap peas. So far my favorite have been the roasted beet chips we made this week and last. These beets are cool because they are red and white striped! After some googling, I found out they are called Chioggia Beets!…
