Squash/Zucchini Boats - Grapefruit Juice

Lane:  So we haven't posted anything in a while, so I just wanted to share some of the things we have been cooking up in the kitchen!

Last night, I went shopping for ingredients to make zucchini boats that I found on pintrest!  Well.... Safeway did not have Zucchini's!  How frustrating.  I texted Chuck asking what I should do, and he suggested trying the yellow squash instead... I mean they look the same right?  Haha.  So here are our results:


SUCCESS!

Here is the original post with the recipe:

So the only things altered were the substitution of squash and we did not use onion (I hate them) and we did not have curry powder.  Delish and healthy!

As for our weekly juice adventures, Conclusion: 
GRAPEFRUITS = YUCK!!! 
BEETS = Ehh....



Chuck is such a comedian.  Lane: "Baby... how do you cut beets?"  Chuck: "Ughh.. With Dre, Duh!"  Hence where our pictures came from. 


"Beets by Chuck"

So what we have learned this week -- DO NOT JUICE GRAPEFRUITS.  Oh, it was terrible.  For the past three weeks of amazing juice, the grapefruit was horrible!  After test tasting the juice, I kept adding things to take away that bitter/dirt taste from the grapefruit... Nope.  It was there to stay.  We had used so much juice, that we decided to plug our noses and chug the juice!  

Today I had a much better experience with beets.  Today's juice included:

Two beets
Two carrots
Two apples
One bunch of celery
One romaine lettuce head
One Mango
And half of a papaya

MUCH better...  Tomorrow, I want to incorporate the rest of the papaya, sweet potato and asparagus!! 


We hope everyone has an amazing week!! XO
