Tanja - thanks! Welcome to the boards! That sounds WONDERFUL! I have all the ingredients, so I'm thinking I'm looking at tonight's dinner! Yum-OH!!!!

Most of my "meals" are green smoothies these days. I like things simple.
2 cups filtered water
handful of greens - fav is spinach
fruits such as mango, banana, strawberries, pineapple - whatever I have on hand
Spirulina
Alissa's green powder
Whip up in my VM and done!

Yum, thanks, I've been thinking of experimenting with a paella recipe... good inspiration!

I'm going to try it with parsnips instead of turnips. Hubby just dug up the parsnips in the garden recently and I've got tons of parsnips that I needed ideas for. (Parsnips taste the best if you grow them, then leave them in the ground to overwinter then dig them up in the spring).

I'll go check out your site when I have more time!
