Green Without Envy

Rise and shine! My mother is the true master juicer. I can get down with a green juice, but it’s hard when you can taste EXACTLY how healthy it is for you. This juice has a ton of spinach which, to me, has a milder taste than some other greens like kale. Try:

3 packed fistfuls of spinach

1 green apple (seeds and stem removed)

1 peeled clementine (peel discarded)

Yields one refreshing green juice that does not taste like the bottom of a lawn mower.

Bonus: the pairing of vitamin c from the citrus helps your body absorb the iron from the spinach.

Food Hug: Meatballs

Because we are on such a tight rotation of foods that I know my little ones will eat, I find myself trying to cram as many extra ingredients into each meal as possible…that they won’t notice.

You are looking at: onions, spinach, ricotta cheese, garlic, Parmesan cheese, carrots

This isn’t new. I know moms everywhere do this. So…me too. I think I would probably add carrots to their milk if I could get away with it.

These meatballs are really tasty and if I can make a double batch, the meatballs freeze beautifully for a quick weeknight meal or lunch.
