Detox drink recipes seem to be in great demand at the moment as detoxifying the body seems to be the “in thing” to do. The process of detoxification of the body is though not a new process and has been part of some cultures for thousands of years. In the western world it is a fact that we are filling our bodies with toxins on a daily basis. Polution, junk foods, processed foods plus the general way we live all add toxins to our bodies each day.
It is a fact that those who live in American are eating more processed and junk foods than ever before. Americans are also eating less fruit and vegtables than ever before. Knowing these facts it does not take a genius to work out that there is a major problem with many of our diets.
Many associate the process of detoxification with drinking buckets full of water and then throwing this back up and so basically washing out the body. This is an extreme to say the least and a detox diet plan can be simply consuming just healthy foods and drinks for a short period of time whilst abstaining from junks foods, alcohol and caffeine.
Personally I think that restricting your drinks to water only is a major mistake whilst you are detoxifying as you are missing out on the natural goodness of fruit in juices. For me juices play a major part in my detox diet plan and this is a view that is also shared by many.
Let me give you a couple of detox drink recipes so you can make your own mind up. You will need a juicer to make the drinks but buying a juicer could turn into one of the best investments of your life.
Green Goddess
60ml (2 fl oz) of carrot juice 60ml (2 fl oz) of apple juice 60ml (2 fl oz) of beetroot juice 60ml (2 fl oz) of broccoli juice ½ tsp kelp powder ½ – 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley A squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Add the above to a juicer and drink straight away whilst fresh.
Red Carrot Rocket
4 carrots 1 large raw beetroot 3cm section of cucumber
Add the above to a juicer and drink straight away whilst fresh.

If you love sweet potatoes like I do, I think you will enjoy this easy to make soup recipe. What I really like about this soup is the hint of orange flavoring mixed with the sweet taste of the potatoes. If you wanted to save time, you could use canned yams, but I feel it doesn't taste as delicious...as if you used the fresh ones. This recipe will make 4 servings.Orange Spice Sweet Potato SoupIngredients:2 tablespoons vegetable oil2 lbs. sweet potatoes (yams), diced1 large carrot, chopped small1 onion, finely chopped1 clove of garlic, finely chopped2 1/2 cups vegetable broth1 1/2 cups unsweetened orange juice (not concentrate)1 cup plain yogurt1 tablespoon chopped cilantrosalt and black pepper to taste1 teaspoon cinnamonPeel and dice your sweet potatoes into 1 to 2" chunks. Heat the vegetable oil up in a large saucepan or stock pot. Stir in the diced yams, chopped carrots, onions and chopped garlic, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Pour in the vegetable broth and orange juice, cover and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to low, and cook the soup for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and scorching. Remove lid and check to see if the yams and carrots are fork tender. If so, pour the mixture into your blender and process for 1 1/2 minutes until its pureed and smooth. Return the soup back to the saucepan. Stir in the plain yogurt, cilantro and season to taste with the salt, black pepper and cinnamon. Let soup stand for 1 minute before serving.

One of the most satisfying and delicious home cooked meals you will ever make is a pot roast cooked in a slow cooker, also known as a crock pot. It is especially wonderful during cold winter months. This easy to make, tender and savory pot roast recipe is sure to be a huge hit with your friends and family. There are many variations to this dish and if you ask 5 different people how they prepare a pot roast, you will more than likely receive 5 different answers. While the ingredients for making pot roast may vary from cook to cook, the method is generally the same: Season then brown a piece of meat on all sides and then slowly cook the meat along with a mix of vegetables in some type of broth mixture until the meat is fork tender.
The very first step to cooking a pot roast is to choose a cut of meat. There are several cuts of meat that will work for pot roast, but some are better than others. I recommend that you visit your local butcher and ask him or her to recommend a good piece of meat for your pot roast. If however, there is no butcher shop close by, visit your local supermarket. Most supermarkets will put helpful labels on the meat telling you what that cut of meat is generally used for. Common cuts of meat used for pot roast are Chuck, Brisket, Top Round and Bottom Round. Most people prefer chuck as the meat of choice, but I find it a bit too fatty and prefer to use Bottom Round. Experiment with different cuts to find the one you like best. For the purpose of this recipe, choose a cut of meat that is 3 - 5 Pounds.
I like to use a variety of different vegetables when I make this dish. It makes it more interesting than the usual carrots, celery and onions that many recipes call for. The best vegetables to accompany pot roast in my opinion are carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, turnips and rutabaga. You are free to use all of these or just a few. The choice is yours and nothing is written in stone. I just love the different textures and flavors that these different vegetables provide. Here are the measurement estimates for the veggies I like to use. Use more or less depending on how big your crock pot or slow cooker is. You don't want to overcrowd the crock pot.
1/2 Cup of Chopped Turnip 1/2 Cup of Chopped Rutabaga 1/2 Cup of Chopped Onion 1/2 Cup of Chopped Carrot 1/2 Cup of Chopped Celery (Look for celery with celery leaves still attached. The leaves impart an excellent flavor to the broth) 3 Garlic Cloves Minced
People use a variety of liquids to braise a pot roast and add their own unique flavors to this dish. People use a combination of water, beef stock, red wine (choose a wine that you would drink, not a cooking wine) and even beer. I like to use simple water mixed with beef stock. I usually use one part water to one part beef stock and use enough to where the roast is only submerged half way.
Ok, we are ready to start cooking this beautiful dish.
Season the meat with salt and pepper to taste. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the meat on all sides, in a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Place your chopped vegetables in the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the meat on top of the vegetables and then pour your liquid over the top.
Cover the slow cooker and cook at the lowest setting possible for roughly 8-10 hours. Meat should easily fall apart when pierced with a fork and vegetables should be soft. Remove meat and vegetables and place on a serving platter.
Now to make the gravy. Whisk together, in a sauce pan, 1/4 cup of cold water and 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth. Slowly incorporate 1 cup of the hot broth from the pot roast and bring to a simmer stirring constantly until thickened.
Enjoy!

In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of peanut or olive oil until very hot. Add the vegetables and stir fry at a high heat until the vegetables start to brown around the edges. Remove the vegetables to a bowl or serving dish. In the wok or skillet, discard all but 1 tsp of the oil, then add the sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce turns translucent. Add the garlic during the last minute of the sauce's cooking time. Drizzle the sauce over the vegetables in the serving dish, or allow diners to pour their own sauce.

I have a confession to make. I miss the good old days. Three years ago we were not in a recession. The worst recession since the Great Depression. You could shop until you dropped. Dine at your favorite restaurant. A friend would tell you about the newest restaurant rage. You would go just to tell people you ate there. Even if the food was not that good. But not all is lost. Now you can cook famous recipes and famous restaurant recipes at home. The 2009 Inaugural Luncheon is provided by America’s Secret Recipes. Secret recipes revealed!

I have a collection of favorite cookbooks. The cookbooks vary from copycat restaurant recipes, pizza secrets, authentic Chinese cooking, the Mediterranean Diet to specialty diets. We all have to eat. Why not learn to cook varied healthy meals. Hope you enjoy my article. I really enjoy writing them.
