Orange Strawberry Sunrise Juice aka My Tolkien Drink

Here is what I'm juicing tonight:

I'm calling it my Tolkien drink, because to me it looks like a sunrise, and when I think of sunrises I think of this quote:

"the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise"

Ingredients: 
4 oranges
1 cucumber
10 strawberries

Serves 2-4.


I'm using the Breville juicer pictured below (links to amazon if you want the same one!):

Honey-Orange Glazed Carrots

“I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them.” - Oscar Wilde

I was about to squeeze lemon juice on my carrots, making myself a traditional parsley carrot dish, when I thought waaaiiiitt...I have half an orange in the fridge. I wonder how that would taste on carrots? The answer...sweet and wonderful. I hope you enjoy it too. 

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 cups water

1 lb baby carrots
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 fresh orange
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
dash of pepper

Directions:

Step 1: Bring the water to a boil in a medium sized pan and cook the carrots on medium-high heat, covered, for 10-15 minutes or until they are tender. Drain the excess water.

Step 2: To the pan add butter or margarine, honey,  juice from ½ orange, seasoned salt, and dash of pepper. Simmer on low an additional 2-5 minutes before serving.

Serves 3-4 sides.
