When I was 16…

all I wanted for my birthday was a new car Juicer. I think I had seen this infomercial one too many times, and I was sold. So on the morning of my 16th birthday, hoping for my dreams to come true, I awoke to my room decorated with every kind of store bought bottled juice. After a big bawl baby waa-waa fit sigh, I realized that this was just another character building moment for me.

Now that I’m all grown up (sort of…yeah, not really) I am finally able to make all my juicing dreams come true. This was my gift to myself last year when I turned 30, and I have loved it!

It’s really all about the creation process. So in cleaning out the fridge, it looked like apple/carrot was the flavor for the day.

On a side note: Have you ever noticed the taste difference between the two of these carrots? It’s astounding!

Question: What’s more important to you: convenience or flavor? Let’s discuss!

The 50 year old version of myself (looking through my blurb book) made me add these nomakeupjustwokeup pictures in to document that I was there. Dang her!

Here’s hoping you all have a great weekend, with lots of juicy details.

    That makes me laugh… That your 16th bday wish was a juicer! Awesome! I remember Ashley Reynolds had one. I think we may have even used it in college in our door room. So lucky for us!!! I love carrot juice and I love baby carrots (so do my girls). And I love you too! Have a great day.

    Kam, Give it up that you didn’t get the juicer for your 16th. But the question is: did you pass your driving test?

    On the carrots, which one is better? I like the whole ones. What do you like? I bought some last week that were so sweet you could have made juice without the apples. Anyway, sorry AGAIN about “the way too expensive to give a child” JUICER. You probably still have some cans/bottles of juice leftover.

    Oh the things that our kids will end up in therapy over :-)
    Well I’m glad you have your juicer…
    and baby carrots taste like water- which has no taste. But they are easy to throw in a lunch and make me feel (look) like a good mom!

    Your juicer lookes awesome! I might have to look into that one. I make smoothies every morning and love em! About the carrots. Major difference between the two. I will never buy the small little packaged carrots. I love the fresh ones, they taste so much better!

    I honestly can’t remember the last time I bought regular carrots. Are they that different?
