This week’s Off The Counter is inspired by the juicer that my husband gave me for Christmas. Having always loved fresh carrot juice and craving it lately, I thought that having it readily available would be great for all of us, kids and adults alike. I must confess not everyone is enjoying it as much as I am. Regardless, I continue to experiment with different ingredients. Yesterday I blended carrots, celery and ginger root that resulted in a juice that was both sweet and spicy, not to mention super healthy. My children are loving the mechanics of the juicer. Now, if only I could get them to drink the darn juice!
In the past I’ve tried other juicers, but this one is by far the quietest and easiest to clean. If you own a juicer, I’d love to hear about your favorite juicy combinations. If you don’t, I strongly recommend you invest in the Breville juicer [here].
Thank you Alex!

I have a Breville, too. I can’t interest the kids in a carrot-beet-celery combination, but nobody can pass up fresh OJ on a Saturday morning! Get LOTS of oranges, then bada-bing-bada-boom — happiness in a cup. (And somewhere you can find a recipe for muffins made with the excess orange pulp.)
no such thing as an easy to clean juicer… but still love mine.
Now that we’re pickling our own veggies for Bloody Marys I wonder if we could experiment with a tomato-carrot-celery-beef stock-horseradish combo to make home-made beef-amato.
