Cucumber Melon Juice

* Half Cucumber
* 1/4 Cantaloupe Melon
* Carrot
* Apple
* Celery
* Greens

The greens can be any of your choice. I like to use flat leaf spinach, balled up and wrapped in romaine. Balling the spinach helps get the most juice out of it. Alternatively, a very juicy green is bok choy.

Cut the rinds off your melon. Juice all ingredients. Enjoy!

Cherry Limeade

* Peeled lime
* Half beet
* Beet Greens
* Carrot
* Apples
(Granny Smith and Red Delicious were used for this recipe, but use your own favorites)
*Handful of cherries, fresh or frozen

Remember that you don't want citrus rinds in your juice as it can make the juice bitter. Peel your lime.

Juice all ingredients, except cherries if using frozen cherries. With greens, ball up the leaves into tight leaf-balls and put them in the juicer at the same time as the lime; this will help get the most juice out of them.

If you are using frozen cherries, put them in the blender. Pour fresh juice into blender. Blend into a smoothie. Add water if this mixture is too thick in texture for you. Enjoy!

Fried Veggies and Quinoa

* 1 cup Baby Bella mushrooms, quartered
* 1 sliced lemon or lime
* 2 cloves garlic, chopped
* Thumb-sized ginger root, chopped
* 1 sliced medium-sized zucchini
* 2 green onion stalks, chopped
* 1 cup quinoa
* 2 cups flat leaf spinach
* Optional: Fish of your choice
(I used canned salmon since that was what I had on hand.)

Begin preparing quinoa. Prepare according to box. For mine, it was 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water; bring to boil, then simmer for 10 minutes or until  water is absorbed.

While quinoa is boiling, prepare veggies. Coat large frying pan or wok in olive oil. Use a separate smaller frying pan for fish. Put fish, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, chopped green onion, and two or three lemon or lime slices in small frying pan. Put zucchini, mushrooms, and the rest of the lemon or lime slices in larger pan. If not using fish, put all veggies in wok or large frying pan.

 Fry until zucchini is tender and fish is white and flaky. Spread a bed of one cup of spinach on each plate. Sprinkle quinoa on spinach.

Place veggies on this mix. Place fish on top of veggies.

Enjoy!
