My favorite is kale, apple, lemon, ginger, and celery. I toss in romaine if I have some leftover, and I often dilute it with a splash of coconut water. I'm not a huge fan of eating celery, but I love it juiced.

Just curious if the coconut milk is the kind in the can, or the thinner kind in the tetra-pak or refrigerated section?

We just got a "last hurrah" of summer squash from our CSA! And winter squash, though stored through the winter, grows in the summer, too. =)

@erinpearce -- lettuce, spinach, carrots, zucchini, pumpkin puree, cucumber, sprouts (not all together!) are all veggies I've used successfully.

Citrus is my favorite thing to add to green smoothies.

@jess13 -- I'm doing the challenge and trying to convince my contrary husband to do it, at least at home (he eats in the work cafeteria a lot and can't realistically check labels). That basically amounts to him giving up Cheerios, and he can still eat Grape Nuts.

It doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing thing. Challenge him to have his Hamburger Helper or mac and cheese, but make it from scratch. He can eat PB&J, but use it as a discussion of reading labels and making it natural peanut butter, jelly without HFCS, and bread with fewer ingredients. Maybe you commit to eating better dinners or snacks, or just adding a salad before dinner.

Or propose starting with a week, and if he thinks it will kill him after 7 days, he can opt out. Baby steps!

Dana, I'm so behind on my blog reading, but I always look forward to your Sunday posts. Thank you.

Pantry-cleaning is always an interesting project. I always end up with dregs of bulk items (2 tablespoons of quinoa?), spices that got shoved in the back of a cupboard, or a half-bag of frozen veggies that sank to the bottom of the freezer. It's a challenge I enjoy from time-to-time, though.

@MLaura -- maybe you need to clean out your closet and get rid of those judgypants.

Perfect timing, I need new rubber scrapers since mine all seem to be nicked and grotty. Off to write to Santa...

I had a similar problem until I made warm red cabbage salad and ate the whole batch myself.

Cabbage of either color also makes a surprisingly nice breakfast bowl.

I toss them on/with eggs, pasta, salads, sandwiches, and even stir fry.
