Misty's Country Cooking

Hey Yall~~~As most of you know I have been juicing~I really like it, but you know I struggle with it. I have not missed many days since I started juicing. The days I miss I can tell I do not feel as good. Kinda sluggish etc... I started the last of February 2013, and lost 25lbs. But I struggle with actual exercise, I know a lot of people think I get all kinds, but not the deep down kind that you actually spend time burning calories. Like 30-45 min a day, plus a nice 30 min Pilate firmer. I was doing all that, and since I have been off track I have gained between 5-8lb.s back........SO.....

I am going to go on a juice fast and detox, I have never done this yet and I think it is time to fully clean my body out. I have had a stomach virus this summer, now I have a sinus infection and bad sore throat, my lymph nodes are swollen bad. So it is time to Detox. Keep me in your mind this week for I will struggle, but with God all things are possible.

You see I lost a lot of weight last summer, but I done it hard and fast, and I starved myself, the wrong thing to do, but the right thing I done was, exercise, I walked and jogged 1 hr. in the morning and 1 hr. in the evening, plus I got a 30-45 min Pilate work out in the middle of the day. I am going to start getting the 30 min firm Pilate in.
And this is what I looked like then~~At 155lb.s

And this is what I am looking like now~~at 165lb.s

 I think I will keep a journal type blog this week with this juice fast. Because I know I will have ups and downs. So bear with me if I get weak, But I will try to help support you, and I might need your support in the same breath....Thank you all, you all have been so good to me~God Bless Yall~~~ :)

~Juice Fast day 5~

Hey yall~ Well I am on day 5, and honestly it is only the 4th day of pure juice~ Remember I cheated a little on Sunday~ And I tell you, they day after the 3rd day it gets easier.....Well It is NOT for me. I am down 6lb.s as of Wednesday, I will check again in the morning. My scales are broke and I have to go and pick tomatoes in the morning, so I will use my friends. I am hungry. Not really, I think it is in my mind. Because I know I am getting plenty of nutrients, I just like food and crave it. Considering I have been cooking for the family the whole time, I made them chicken, potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery in the toaster pan on the grill today, and that is one of my favorites.......Anyway this will be short and sweet, just wanted to check in and let you all know how It is going. I am going to go through till Monday, the 22, I do believe. Keep my in your mind, because I am weak...Thank you all and God Bless Each and Everyone of you~ Misty

~Juicing Day 3~

Hey Yall~Well I am on day 3 of my Juice fast, and I want to be honest, on day one I didn't quite make it, I had a banana in after lunch, and a little bit of yogurt (I am taking antibiotics) and a handful of almonds after my salad for supper. I done well until after lunch. But day 2, I done the 1 day detox, and I didn't cheat. Here is the link to what I followed, well I had coffee around 5am. instead of the warm water with lemon. I tried that on Sun. and it didn't do well with me. :)

And I used the Total Tea Gentle Detox at the end of the day. It was Hard....Considering everyone eating around me....And I don't normally like banana's that well, but boy was I craving one, considering they were right in front of me all day, the the perfect ripeness that I like. And I also had to add a green apple and a red one the the detox juice, I just couldn't get it down w/o them. You should take a sip 1st before you add it to yours. Every ones taste buds are different.

http://www.totaltea.net/Total-Tea--Gentle-Detox_p_8.html  Today I will continue juicing, but will return with the reg. type juices I have, they will have some fruit in them. Today I will hold off kale because I had so much of it yesterday, Drew can explain this to you in the 1st post.

Spinach, Celery, Parsley, Carrots, Apples, Pineapple, Oranges, Lemons, Kiwi, & Ginger Root, I will not put them all in at the same time, but I will make enough for my morning juice and a mid day juice, and the same when I make my lunch juice.

It is hard I have to be strong, and when so many temptations are around me, it is trying. I hope that in the next couple days the irritability goes away. So does my family...lol... :)

But in the mean time I have a lot of work to do, I will be cleaning out my green house today to get ready to expand it.

So as Drew says ~Remember Were in the together~

 ~Mexican Hay Stack~
Hey guys and gals~I was just gonna have Tacos and Burritos, but I thought I would take it a step futher and may Hay Stacks~
So I made Spanish Rice 1st~
I chopped~
2 Onions
2 Bell Peppers
3 Jalapeno Peppers
1 Cayenne Pepper
Some Garlic
I put this into a Cast Iron Dutch Over and Satueed w/
2 c. Long grain brown rice in about 2-4 TBL Oil, untill the peppers and onions were kinda softer, than I added 2 cans of Rotell Tomatoes and 2 1/2 c. water and cooked untill done.
Now for my meat, I browned 2 lbs ground beef with 1 Bell Pepper, 1 Onion, 2 Jalapenios and 1 Cayenne seasoned with Zaterans, then when done I drained it and added 2 packs of Fajita seasoning mix and 2/3 c water and simmered as the pack says.
I heated some refried beans and some white shelly beans I canned from last year (seperatly)
Now I will heat some round cruncy jalapeno tortillas, and some flour tortillas so each can have it the way they like it.....
I will put on my plate:
Broken Cruncy Tortillas, rice, beans and meat, taco sauce, cheese, then top with lettuce, tomatoes, and sourcream, you can add the toppings you like~~~Olives, avocados ect.....
Enjoy~
Ps the community here makes these and don't use refried beans and the make the powdered ranch dressing w/sourcream and put on it....and not taco sauce...So this is very variable, what makes these haystacks is the rice... :) Plus they also use plain rice...I wanted to JaZz it up~~~ ;)

Our 1st Snow of 2013

Hey Yall~It has been a beautiful day~We got the children some sleds last year and it has not snowed yet till this morning~So here are a few pictures I took this morning~
