sheesh…is that good English?! I hardly think so, but it’s how I see things lately. Changing over to the primal/paleo lifestyle is going to be a long process, weaning off all those “wonderful” foods I had learned to love over the last 6 decades. I’m trying all kinds of new things and am surprising even myself with how good these items taste—not to mention how much better I feel.
To keep my taste buds truly satisfied, I have started using a clone of Emeril’s Essence—LOTS! It adds so much great zing to my food…well…BAM! (Sorry…couldn’t resist!) Check it out in the recipe section.
I have also been trying my hand at almond milk and a DIY V8 juice. The results have been fabulous! One tip for others trying to find a better, more economical way to strain pulp without the expense of a nut milk bag—go to Wal-Mart and buy a pack of flour sack towels. They are about $ 5.00 for 5 towels, not to mention they are sturdy AND reusable!!
UPDATE: Shortly after posting this, one of my chores was to make my current supply of “V8″ juice. I used the flour sack towel placed inside a sieve to strain my juice. The resulting juice was almost entirely pulp-free. (More information and the recipe is to follow.) This was a good to confirm because now there is no need to augment my Ninja® Mega Kitchen System with a juicer. The blender handled everything, even the ice, without a hitch. But, hey, if you like pulp in your juice there’s no need to strain a thing.
