Shout out to AddictedToVeggies.com - I’ve been loving your recipes! I’ve really been exploring raw foods and it’s been really fun creating these “staple foods” and honestly, i’ve really enjoyed NOT cooking (using the stove, microwave, etc)!
Give raw foods cooking a try! It’s pretty fun and very refreshing!

didn’t end up putting the lime in it
carrots, celery, cucumber, orange, apple, strawberries, & a golden beet!
it made several servings - i’d say, 4 or 5 of those little jars? maybe more

crap like this drives me crazy.
“Fit” popcorn? wtf.
a huge pet peeve of mine is throwing the word “FIT” or “HEALTHY” or “NATURAL” on something for marketing purposes so people think they can eat a lot of it and they are being healthy.
besides. popcorn, if you just purchase kernels, cook it, and eat it without anything, is pretty healthy/fine to eat in general. adding your little herbs and spices actually makes it slightly less ‘fit’ than if you just ate it in its natural state.
to me it’s like putting a sticker on a banana that says “FIT BANANA”
STOP IT. EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS. AND THEN STOP IT.

Carnitas Tacos!
Ingredients:
Refried Kidney Beans
Slow Cooker Carnitas
Shredded Mozzarella
Green Salsa
Corn Tortillas
For the Carnitas:
1. Get a pork shoulder. cover it in cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
2. Put it in the crock pot and pour broth or water in the crock pot until it comes up about an inch.
3. Cook 6-8 hours.
4. When done, remove & shred meat.
5. Sautee meat in a pan until it starts to brown and crisp a little bit on edges. Add juice periodically to keep moist.
DONE
For refried kidney beans:
1. Drain 1 can kidney beans. Pour beans into pot and turn onto medium heat.
2. Pour in desired seasonings (I used Mrs. Dash original, chipotle tabasco, cilantro, lime juice, and cayenne) and mix well.
3. As the beans cook, mash them with a fork and mix around. Do this continuously until they are thoroughly warmed and mashed to your desired consistency. I like to let them brown a teeny bit.
DONE
EAT ALL THAT TOGETHER AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY!
