lunch is our dinner and juicer info

Since The Carnivore works 2nd shift we eat lunch together every day instead of dinner.

I like lunch to be a bigger meal than dinner. I don't like going to sleep stuffed. Also, since I have the time I'm going to try to get creative and maybe a little complicated with lunch.

My goal is to have two lunch options each week to keep grocery expenses low and to spend 30 minutes or less cooking each day so we can spend our time at the gym, exploring Omaha, etc. Also, Sons of Anarchy won't watch itself-we are only on season 4, no spoilers please!

I am also impatiently awaiting the delivery of a juicer. I did a lot of research and decided to purchase the Omega 8006. The link takes you to the only place I could find that actually had the juicer in stock. I tried almost every other seller on Amazon and even though they had this particular juicer listed "in stock" I then received emails about cancelled orders and significant shipping delays.

isn't she gorgeous?!

This machine also processes pasta, makes nut butter, turns frozen fruit in to sorbet, makes baby food (not necessary yet!), and minces meat. I'm already imagining all the ways this machin3 is going to make us healthier. I cannot wait to make my own pasta!

Also, the additional features help lessen the blow of the price. It's a expensive piece of kitchen gadgetry.

I think I'm about 2 weeks away from trying a 10 day juice fast . I want to clean up my diet quite a bit to hopefully lesson the detox side effects. I am going to incorporate two juices a day with our meals to get used to the machine and what we like and don't like. Then I'll probably slowly start replacing meals entirely until I'm ready to go 100% juice for the fast.

*On a side note, I did email discountjuicers.com to see if they actually had the juicer. An actual person, John, answered my email in less than 24 hours. John also has lots of YouTube videos related to juicers and healthy living. I watched several of them when trying to decide on a juicer and they were very helpful. I love how excited John is about juicing.
