In Honor of National Margarita Day

Well I missed this post by a day but who cares right?

One of the best things about making your own juices is you often stumble on some pretty fantastic creations. Like this “Margarita”

Scottish Oatcakes

Ok so it all started when I was reading a book set in mid evil England, and the character mentioned oat cakes with honey, and I thought to myself “I must have these!” Then I thought more on it and realized they would make a great breakfast item to keep in the house.

So I scoured the internet and came up with about 50 variety of oat cakes – sigh – damn you internet why can’t anything be easy. And they all ranged from a pancake consistency to a cracker consistency – neither of which I wanted. I wanted a cookie/shortbread consistency.

So I made up my own – let’s now say there are 51 varieties to oatcakes on the internet.

Crumble in your yogurt, eat them as cookies, have them before you go workout – very versatile little snacks – very low in sugar and high in fiber.  Also I make some of them somewhat bite sized to keep as quick pick me ups.

Juice of the Day – Beets Beets I Love Beets

No I did not take this photo, I drank my juice before it dawned on me, but it’s beet juice so it pretty much looks like this.

This is random – because I haven’t posted anything about the fact that I’m juicing, but I have for about a month and it’s great and I feel 100% better and I love it! Minus the disaster “V8″ juice I made – it’s been spectacular.

So juice of the day goes to beets – will I post a juice every day – no – cause I simply know myself, but this is the first one that was so good that I promptly wanted another.
