March 1st is literally around the corner and the site will be open to the public and you no longer will be logging in to enjoy your recipes.
In the meantime, we are busy working in the background. One thing that is in question (on our end) is the FAVORITES FEATURE that allows you to compile a list of your favorite recipes on the site. We are not positive if this feature can or will remain on the site once the change over happens.
So… if YOUR favorite list is important to you, please copy and paste the links to your computer. Once I find out more information I will let you know! Have a wonderfully happy day! amie sue

Blender Juicing (I can’t afford a juicer)

 Members Only, High-Powered Blenders - worth the investment (5 lessons)

A good blender makes an excellent alternative to juicers until you can afford one. Blender juicing works best with juicier fruits, such as peaches, apricots, pears, grapes, berries, and oranges. If you own a high-powered blender such as the Vitamix or Blendtec… then you will have a better chance pulverizing the heck out of firmer fruits and veggies, which will provide you with a smoother juice.
