Hello World! I feel like I've been flooding my most recent blog post with a ton of Instant Pot recipes. Let me apologize and start by saying that I won't be posting only Instant Pot recipes. But Gosh darn it, that Instant Pot is amazing.

I'm used to making soups, stews, and one pot meals in it but I was intrigued when I discovered that I could make eggs in the Instant Pot. No, not boiled eggs (which I hear is a great way to make a ton of boiled eggs) but creamy delicious egg bites.

Are these similar to sous vide egg bites?

Yep, but I don't use a Sous Vide machine. The first I heard of these is when Starbucks added it to their menu and called it "Sous Vide Egg Bites." They apparently use the sous vide machine but the Instant Pot gets the same velvety, creamy texture.

Let's be real, everyone and their mama got the Instant Pot for Christmas. How awesome is it that we can make this wonderful breakfast at home and save some coins when we head to our favorite coffee shop. These are the kind of a breakfast snack that can be made ahead of time. The whole family will love this grab and go breakfast.

This egg bites recipe comes together quickly and requires only a 9 minute steam time and 10 minute natural release time in the Instant Pot. There are a couple of suggested tools when making these babies...a blender, a a silicone baby food mold , and a Steamer Rack Trivet(this should have come with your instant pot).

As you can see, the texture of these eggs are creamy. This recipe isn't for you if you like your eggs hard or fried. But if you like creamy eggs and don't have the patience to make Gordon Ramsey's creamy scrambled eggs in a skillet (my favorite way to make them), then this Sous Vide Egg Bites Recipe is for you.

The best thing about these egg bites, other than the fact that they are creamy and delicious is the fact that you can hide veggies in them. I keep it simple with just adding spinach to mine. I also add bacon. Can I call bacon a veggie?

I hope you all enjoy these "Sous Vide" egg bites as much as we do. Until the next recipe.

Watch this video tutorial and see how I make these egg bites from start to finish.

Notes on Sous Vide Egg Bites Recipe in the Instant Pot

  • You can create a foil sling for easy removal of the baby silicone mold in the Instant Pot. To create the sling, take a 20 inch long piece of foil paper and fold it into thirds. Place this in the Instant Pot, on the trivet and place the baby silicone mold on top of that. When ready to remove from the Instant Pot, grab the foil sling. Or in the alternative, you can use tongs to grab the side of the silicone mode for removal.
  • Have fun with the add ins and use whatever cheese you may like.
  • Allow the egg bites to sit after removing from Instant Pot to have them firm up a bit.
  • With the egg mold linked here, I don't spray the silicone mold and my eggs slide right on out. I highly reccomend this silicone mold.  However, I have used other molds with this recipe and they have stuck. So I suggest always spraying the mold.
  • These can be reheated easily in the microwave. If refrigerated, try 30-45 seconds in the microwave. if frozen, try 60 -90 seconds. Re-heat time will depend on the wattage of your microwave.

Pressure Cooker Turkey Chili Recipe

by 19 Comments

This Pressure Cooker Turkey Chili Recipe is not only delicious but has only a 25 minute under pressure cook time. It's the perfect one pot dinner that can be made on any weekend or weeknight.

recipe card at the bottom of the post. 
You can find important tips/tricks in the
blog post.

Oh how I love my Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker! Although I took a leave of absence from the blog, I've been getting great feedback on my Instant Pot recipes, like this Pressure Cooker Shrimp Paella or this Instant Pot Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge Recipe. So, of course, the first recipe I had to share on my return to blogging was this Pressure Cooker Turkey Chili Recipe.

One pot meals are a necessity in our meal rotations and our electric pressure cooker has been a life saver when it comes to creating these meals. Let's just say that for the last few months I've been super busy and extremely tired. Why may you ask? Well for starters, I starred in a feature-length film that is available on Amazon. It was a pretty big way to start the year and something brand new to me. But hey, YOLO (you only live once) and being an actress is now on my resume. The movie took a bit of time as I not only acted in it, but I helped with directing and editing as well. Feel free to check out the movie free on Amazon.

After the movie was made, you would think life would slow down but we chose to keep it moving. My husband and I always wanted to expand our family of 3 but were told that it would only be possible with In Vitro Fertilization(IVF). That itself was a little overwhelming. Dealing with taking shots every day, various medical procedures, and the fear that it just may not work will have you feeling overwhelmed. Regardless, it was totally worth it as we became pregnant on our first round. 8 months later, after a difficult pregnancy, our little precious daughter made her way into this world. Now our house is full of girls, sorry hubby.

It's meals like this Turkey Chili made in my Instant Pot that allowed my family to eat healthy while our lives went through so many exciting changes.

Chili in the Slow Cooker, Stove Top, or Instant Pot...that is the question?

Chili used to be a meal that I thought was only available on a long weekend when you had hours to sit over a stove and stir every once in a while. Truth is, it's been a long time since I've made chili on the stove top. I'm not the hugest fan on watching food on the stove for long periods of time. The slow cooker is my 2nd favorite method for cooking chili but it didn't provide me with the last minute dinner availability. So the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker became the perfect vessel to make this delicious turkey chili dinner.

Although my Instant pot has a slow cooker function, I prefer to use the pressure cook and sauté function only on my machine. Rumor has it that the slow cooker function on the Instant Pot isn't as good as the original slow cooker.

Which is Healthier, Ground Beef or Ground Turkey?

Although the majority of the chili we make in our house is made with beef, I wanted to try something different for my hubby and oldest daughter. Chili happens to be one of her favorites but I wanted to limit the amount of red meat we were eating. The great thing about this turkey chili is you won't even notice that there isn't beef in the chili because...well, it taste like some darn good chili.

So which is healthier? It pretty much depends on which kind of ground turkey or ground beef you buy. Fit Found Me has a great article detailing the differences between both.

Spices for Pressure Cooker Turkey Chili

So what's the secret to this delicious chili?? The spices! Of course, there is chili powder, cumin, and a dash of cinnamon. All that combined with the other ingredients gives you a dynamic chili taste.

How Long to Cook Chili in a Pressure Cooker

You will get different opinions on how long you should cook anything in the pressure cooker. Some even say you can get that flavor within as little as 10 minutes cook time. I'm a firm believer that this chili deserves a good 25-minute pressure cooker time. The longer it's in there, the better the chance of getting that dynamic flavor.

What to serve with this chili?

Cornbread!!! or Tortilla chips. I like to top mine with sliced jalapeno, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.

It's super easy to make this chili, which makes it perfect for a weeknight or weekend meal. So spice it up and enjoy this pressure cooker turkey chili recipe. Also, it feels great to be back.

Notes on Pressure Cooker Turkey Chili

  • You can sub your favorite bean for one of the kidney beans. Feel free to try it with black beans or any bean you like with your chili.
  • Make sure the diced tomatoes remain on the top when pressure cooking. If mixed in prior to pressure cooking, you risk the tomatoes being scorched on the bottom.
  • The chili will be watery when you first open the pressure cooker. In order to thicken it, you can turn on the saute function and stir continuously allowing it to reduce down. I like to add very fine cornmeal and stir it in on saute for a few minutes. It changed the flavor profile ever so slightly but it's sooo good.

Dining in The Hamptons

by 1 Comment

I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in what I call "Dining in the Hamptons." The Hamptons is a great place to relax, shop, and of course eat!

Dining in the Hamptons

I'm back from what I'll call a short blogging hiatus. I know, I know...I am a bad person for disappearing for months without a new blog post or updates (except for social media, I love to post on social media). I could give you a laundry list of excuses but instead, I'll dive right into one of the coolest things I did while I was gone, dine in the Hamptons.

I was invited to The Hamptons by a friend of mine, Jessica, who brought together a host of professional women she knows for a fun filled weekend. Let me say we all need a friend like Jessica in our life...bubbly, full of life, very well organized, and just a beautiful spirit who knows when you really need a girls trip in your life. Like seriously, I really needed this vacation.

Our trip to The Hamptons was just for a weekend where I left Charlotte on a Friday morning and I was at our house in the Hamptons at 4pm, ready to live the rich and fabulous life on a broke and bougie budget.

We stayed at this fabulous house located in the township of Wainscott. It's the perfect place to house multiple guest with a fabulous kitchen, pool, and hot tub. I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of taking a trip to the Hamptons.

Dining in the Hamptons: Chef Karl

Our first night, we had a three course meal prepared by Chef Karl. He has cooked for The Clintons, Barbara Walters, and Sarah Jessica Parker, and now, lil' ol' me. Cool thing is Chef Karl is Jamaican, so I knew we would connect immediately. I also knew his food would be delicious. Keep on reading for contact info for Chef Karl at the end of this post.

Chef Karl and Jessica

We started our meal with a silky carrot and ginger soup. This soup is not only silky, but it's delicious! Let's just say that this soup was gone in a heartbeat.

Our entree was a rosemary thyme crusted filet mignon, citrus prawns, sauteed kale, served over an amazing mushroom risotto. Let me say one thing about this filet mignon...best I've had in my entire life. The filet...it melted like butter. Is that a thing? Are filets supposed to cut so easily? Are they supposed to be cooked so perfectly? I swear, there are a million thoughts that went through my head after each bite, like could I fly Chef Karl home with me? Let's just say that this meal was amazing! Oh and that risotto was perfection!

Our dessert was a Lavender Panna Cotta with fresh strawberries and butterfly tulles. This dessert was a first for me, but it was delicious! I went to bed my first night in the Hamptons pleased with my day 1 meals.

Dining in the Hamptons: Tillie's

The next morning, we swung by Tillies, a restaurant locates at the Gurney's, a resort and seawater spa located in Montauk. I found the restaurant to be beautiful and refreshing, with an amazing view of the outdoors and a nice clean feel with it's white walls and oak decor.  For breakfast/brunch, I had the avacado tartine with grilled lemon. In all honesty, I can't go into depth about the food here as I ordered something I find pretty basic and that I can make at home. All the ladies enjoyed their food so I would recommend this restaurant based off their opinions.

Outside, you can find a beautiful deck with benches and couches where you can relax. We enjoyed mimosas after breakfast while we took photos and chatted about life. Just beyond this deck is the ocean. Some of the ladies ventured down to the beach to explore. I stayed my butt near this lovely fire pit. It was a little chilly this morning.

Dining in the Hamptons: The Clam Bar

On the way back from brunch, we passed by this gem located on the side of the road. Great place for authentic beach seafood. I ordered the shrimp and corn chowder which was delicious. I also heard the clam strips here were pretty amazing.

Dining in the Hamptons: Wollfer Estate

Some ladies went to the Wolffer Estate Vineyards while I went to the house and took a nap. Dining in the Hamptons is exhausting.  I had to share this cute photo they took. They had rose which I hear sells out quickly. Cool thing is you can order a few bottles and have them delivered to you house. Thanks Oisha for being an amazing photographer.

Dining in the Hamptons: The American Hotel

That night we went to The American Hotel for dinner, which was recommended by our bartender from the previous night, Dennis. Wait...why did I wait to so long to mention Dennis? He is amazing! Greatest bartender/server hands down and treated us so well while we were in The Hamptons. He took such great care of us both nights.

The American hotel dates back to the mid 1800s...yep, 1800s. It's a smaller hotel of course but it is so cozy inside. There was a piano player inside who played smooth tunes as we dined, drank, and laughed. I'm not sure if you can have a fancier dinner experience than that.

At the American Hotel, I slowed down on my drinking but not my eating. Gotta go out big when Dining in the Hamptons. I ordered the lobster risotto and the duck. Yes, I ordered two entrees and I ate all of it. Don't hate.

The lobster risotto was delicious, however I personally had only one problem with it, I felt it had a tad bit too much salt. Everyone else that ordered it loved it so in all honesty, that may just had been me.

That duck though...not a single complaint can be made about that perfection they call duck. It was seared to perfection and oh so delicious.

The next morning we had to head out a bit early and would have no time to continue our dining experience in The Hamptons. I must say that I will be back. Somehow, someway, I'm making my way back there. That filet and that duck just keep calling my name.

Well that's all I'll say for now about my Dining in the Hamptons experience. I will end on this note. Remember to "treat yoself" from time to time, take vacations, and surround yourself with positive people. Oh yea, drink Rosé All Day!

Dame's Chicken and Waffles Cary, NC

by 1 Comment

I had the opportunity to dine and relax at Dame's Chicken and Waffles Cary, NC. This new location is perfect for those that are looking for delicious Dame's entrees in a new bigger location.

chicken and waffles

I usually don't venture outside of Charlotte when it comes to my restaurant escapades, but when a friend becomes co-owner of a restaurant, I have to go check it out. Dame's Chicken and Waffles is pretty much a household name around North Carolina with locations in Durham, Greensboro, and now Cary, NC. When I heard Dame's would open in Cary, NC, I immediately got jealous. I've been waiting for them to open in Charlotte for years. But I digress...folks in Cary are lucky to have this location.

Let me start from the beginning...

I had to travel to the Triangle for work and realized that it would be a great time to catch up with my law school study group who are more like close friends rather than just old study partners. Ironically, on the morning of our planned dinner, Facebook reminded me that 10 years earlier we took a photo during out first year of law school. The majority of these friends are in private practice, one is an assistant public defender (me), 2 are bloggers, and one became co-owner of Dame's Chicken and Waffles Cary, NC. Dame's became the obvious location for us to grab a bite and catch up.

I arrived at Dame's at 7pm on a Tuesday. This location is located in a shopping center which makes parking easy. I was out of my car and at the front doors of the restaurant in no time. Once I walked in, the atmosphere of Dame's was perfect for our law school reunion.  This place is much bigger than the Durham location. I immediately noticed this amazing artwork on the wall. It's painted by a local Durham artist, Artie Barksdale. Kuddos to Dame's for keeping it local. In the background, D.J. Pandora was spinning a nice jazz mix and I realized that this was a place I could relax, have great conversation, and eat.

photos of pictures on wall

We started our meal at Dame's in Cary with this twist on your traditional Shrimp and Grits. This version is made with a grit cake and it was my first time trying it. It's a spin on the classic grits as the outside is fried and the inside is filled with creamy grits. I loved this spin and the flavor was on point.

We next moved on to our entrees and almost everyone ordered chicken and waffles. Dame's doesn't serve your typical Chicken and Waffles. The menu offers great variety and combinations that it's hard to pick just one. Waffles range from  sweet potato, gingerbread, and vegan while there are a variety of drizzles and smears that come along with it. The menu at Dame's comes is filled with suggestions but feel free to change it up, I know I did. All food is made fresh and we got our orders delivered to our table in really good time.

I ordered the gingerbread waffle with vanilla almond smear and sweet whiskey creme drizzle. It was amazing!!! The other cool thing is that my chicken breast was shaped like a heart. It's so good to be loved 🙂 I also ordered some of the calypso sauce to dip my chicken in which provided a nice spice to my meal. Each chicken and waffle entree comes with a side, which most restaurants don't offer in a chicken and waffles special. I ordered the spicy collards and they were absolutely amazing! I don't usually do collards but these were so good. So full of flavor and just the right touch of spice.

Overall, my experience at Dame's Chicken and Waffles in Cary, NC was great. The only sad face moment was that they didn't serve alcohol but a little birdie told me that is coming soon. If you've been to any Dame's, you know that the drinks are delicious. I'm sure the ones here will be as well.

So for you lucky folks in Cary, you have a wonderful gem in your city. As for me, I'll still dream of the day Dame's decides to open a location next door to my house. A girl can dream can't she.

April is here! Did you play any April Fools Day pranks on anyone? I didn't. My husband tried to trick me all day...he never got me. I couldn't think of anything clever so unfortunately I didn't get anyone this year. I'll have to make sure to plan something amazing next year.

So about this Awesome Quinoa Dish...it was provided to me by my friend/co-worker Kate. Funny enough, while we chatted during court sessions, I told her how much I despised quinoa. First, I had no clue on how to pronounce it correctly. Thankfully, Kate was able to teach me the right pronunciation(Keen-wah). No more strange looks when I ask where the quinoa is located in the grocery store.

Second, I just didn't like the taste. She was shocked and informed me that quinoa could be...well delicious. I doubted her at first but Kate was nice enough to write the recipe out for me with the title of "Awesome Quinoa." It took me a while to get to trying the recipe and when I finally did, I had to admit it was pretty awesome. Even my daughter loved it...and she is the pickiest.

I've been experimenting a ton with quinoa now but this quinoa dish is what really got me into it. This quinoa recipe is great as a side dish or a base for other dishes, like chicken burrito bowls or even vegetarian Buddha bowls. Feel free to sub the chicken broth with vegetable broth.

So why quinoa rather than good ol' fashion rice? Because there are a ton of health benefits associated with quinoa. I haven't given up on rice but it's a nice way to mix it up from time and time again. I hope you enjoy this quinoa recipe as much as we do. I've provided a video with this one. I've been practicing on my video creation and editing...I think I did a pretty decent job with this one. Well, until the next recipe and video.

Pressure Cooker Shrimp Paella

by 207 Comments

This pressure cooker shrimp paella made in my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker will knock your socks off. And if you're not wearing socks, It'll make your toes curl. Not only does it have tons of flavor, it comes together so quickly with only a five minute high pressure cook time in the Instant Pot.

I'm bizack with another Instant Pot recipe...and I'm super excited to share this one because it's such a quick and easy meal.

Although I love to cook, most weeknights I'm exhausted and I'd rather not stand in front of the stove. I'd rather not dirty up pots and pans. I'd rather order out but then my bank account says "no ma'am."

It's days like that that recipes in my Instant Pot are so important. If you haven't gotten an Instant Pot yet, you're so missing out. It is one of my all time favorite kitchen appliances, outside of my oven.

I go on and on about it in my post of Instant Pot Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge so I won't do that again here. But for those that don't know, it's an electronic pressure cooker that pretty much cuts cooking time in half.

It has a sauté function that makes it great for browning meats and softening onions that are part of meals.

Alrighty, so about this Instant Pot pressure cooker shrimp paella. Well I always keep a bag of raw frozen shrimp in our freezer at home. I love frozen shrimp because the defrost time is so quick and the cook time of shrimp is so fast.

The great thing about this recipe is that you don't even have to defrost the shrimp. It's a literally a throw it in the pot kind of recipe. And if you prep your ingredients ahead of time by chopping the onions, peppers, and garlic...well my friend, you may break the record for the quickest dinner on the table.

Your family will love this Pressure Cooker Shrimp Paella

I remember the first time I made this for my family, my daughter literally was shocked and thought I ordered out and didn't tell her. She couldn't believe how quickly dinner was done. I just told her I was Super Mom. She was indeed impressed.

pressure cooker shrimp paella on a purple plate

People don't generally think of cooking shrimp in the pressure cooker. That makes sense because shrimp cooks quickly and if it's not done right it can lead to a rubbery mess.

The key to avoiding this of course is a short cooking time and using jumbo frozen shrimp with shell on. This will ensure your shrimp is perfectly cooked.

The only slight annoyance with this recipe is the taking the shell off after cooking and before serving. Honestly, it's up to you how you handle that part. On days I'm really tired, hubby and daughter are on their own when it comes to taking off the shells. On other days, I remove it for them so I don't hear their whining.

I've include step by step photos of how to cook this meal in the Instant Pot. I remember when I first got my Instant Pot I was lost on how to operate it. After pressing buttons and reading the manual 4 times, I figured it out. Well, as always, Enjoy 🙂

Notes

  • Make sure there are no dry bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. This could result in that annoying "burn" signal some pressure cookers give off. Once you add your broth (but before you place frozen shrimp on top), stir with a wooden spoon to ensure there is no food stuck to the bottom. 
  • This recipe was prepared in a 6qt Instant Pot. Please adjust accordingly for 3qt and 8qt models.

Notes on Pressure Cooker Shrimp Paella

  • Use raw jumbo frozen shrimp with the shell on. This will ensure that your shrimp is not overcooked and your rice cooks perfectly. If you don't have jumbo shrimp or it's not frozen, then you will need to cook the shrimp seperatley.
  • Make sure to deglaze your pot after the rice is added. Any food stuck to the bottom of an Instant Pot may cause the "burn signal to appear."
  • This recipe can be modified with many different vegetable or meat additions. There are some great modifications on the comments below.
  • Rinsed rice...I find this is a must in every rice recipe I make.

This Cinnabon Waffles Recipe is delicious and easy to make. Enjoy this sweet treat in celebration of Spring.

So Spring is here! Hooray! Other than my allergies acting a fool, I love Spring because it means we are one season closer to my favorite season, Summer! Another cool thing about Spring are all the cool foodie holidays that happen during this time. In honor of these foodie Holiday recipes, I've included a few recipes from a few other bloggers below.

National Waffle Day is on March 25th and I decided to represent with this Cinnabon Waffle Recipe!!! Why a Cinnabon Waffle?? Well I  love, love, love, love Cinnabons. They are my favorite mall treat. I love them so much that one time, on a road trip home from Maryland, I made my husband get off the highway because I swore I saw a Cinnabon sign. Well...there was no Cinnabon off that exit, apparently no sign, and 10 minutes added to our trip. Oooops. It was at that time that I realized I had it bad for this sweet treat.

I've actually made copycat Cinnabons from scratch a few times but in order to get the dough just like I like it, it takes a whole lot of mixing and rising which means a whole lotta waiting. So I needed a faster fix and decided using my waffle iron would be much better.

I tend to make this Cinnabon Waffles recipe alone or with a side of fried chicken for some good ol' Chicken and Waffles. Great thing is if I make them for dinner, I just pack up any leftover waffle batter and enjoy waffles for breakfast too.

This recipe does take a few steps but the results are the perfect waffle for Waffle Day. Perfectly waffled waffles with a brown sugar topping and cream cheese glaze. So yum.

Notes on Cinnabon Waffles Recipe

  1. You can use almond milk or regular milk. I've used both with no problems.
  2. Prior to making these waffles, preheat oven to 250 degrees. Once waffles are done, place on baking sheet in preheated oven to keep waffles warm.
  3. These are so good with a nice tall glass of milk.

These Cinnabon Waffles are a great twist on the typical Cinnamon roll. Great for brunch. Great for breakfast.

Seafood Connection Charlotte Review

by 12 Comments

I finally took the time to have some of the best...naw, the best seafood Charlotte has to offer at Seafood Connection Charlotte.

seafood crab and shrimp in container

I'm sure you've heard of the Seafood Connection Charlotte. If not, which rock are you hiding under?!? But seriously,  The Facebook Group has over 30,000 members and the Instagram has 15,000 followers. I honestly don't know how I found out about this place but I liked the Facebook page a few months back and was blown away by all the beautiful seafood plates on my news feed. So I vowed to not only stalk the page, but to actually go and grab a plate...or a few.

Here's a few pointers for you to prepare for your first visit:

  1. Join the Facebook Group to learn about updates such as locations and times. I was able to find out the hours, locations, and preview the menu on a pinned post located in the Facebook group.
  2. Cash only! At least for now. Maybe this will change but come prepared with some cash monies. I did notice an ATM machine at the location but I recommend you come prepared either way.
  3. You find out about the hours and location the day of. Again, join the Facebook group and get this info early in the day and plan accordingly.
  4. Be prepared to wait. My time at the place lasted about an hour. That's from when we entered the door and got our food and left. That may seem like a long wait to some but it honestly isn't that bad when you think about it. Most crowded restuarants take just about as long to get food once you're seated. In addition, all food is freshly made so it makes sense.
  5. Charge your cell phone and wear comfortable shoes. Wear heels if you wanna but you will be standing in line for a little bit my friend. No worries, if your cellly is charged, you can read a book or catch up on Facebook birthday wishes while you wait,
  6. You can buy drinks while you wait. At least that is the case while it's located at King of Spicy. Again, I don't know how long that will last but for now, the order line is located inside the King of Spicy restaurant on Albermarle Rd.  You order food from the bar but I did see a few folks buy drinks while they waited. I sipped on complimentary water.
  7. You can sit and eat at the restaurant or take it to go. I was ready to get back and get my fingers and face messy in the privacy of my own home. I get it in when I eat my seafood and like to make my "mmm, mmm" sounds in privacy.
  8. Be prepared for some amazing food and to make some weird noies. I ordered the C-port platter, which came with crab, lobster, shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage all covered in an amazing buttery lemon sauce. Ya'll, I made "mmm mmm" noices while I ate and hubby straight clowned me for like an hour.

Overall, there were no complaints from our household about this food. It was delicious! Being a South Florida girl, I was glad to find a place in Charlotte where I can get some fresh and delicious seafood. Can't wait to go back to Seafood Connection Charlotte.

I was not sponsored in any way to review Seafood Connection. I just really like fresh seafood and wanted to write a review. 

Beet Carrot Apple Juice

by 11 Comments

This Beet Apple Carrot Juice is one of my favorite juice recipes. Yes, raw beets can be delicious!

recipe card at the bottom of the post.

blog post.

The first time I had beets, which wasn't that long ago, I thought they were the grossest thing on the planet. Seriously, I wondered why anyone would even consider eating them. Granted, the beets I tried were pickled and I ate them by themselves. So for a while, I left the beets alone.

Then one day, I was reading...as I tend to do often because I'm a smarty pants, and discovered that beets have a ton of health benefits. Like a freaking ton. And since I'm on this whole healthy kick in my life (except for the fact that I've been test baking macarons every night), I decided I was going to have to find a way to get beets in my belly, other than pickled of course. Hence the creation of this Beets Apple Carrot Juice recipe.

ingredients for beet juice on white counter

I played around with a lot of different ingredients when it came to creating beet juice. The first time I had way too many things added and decided to keep it simple with what was in my kitchen at the time, which happened to be beets, carrots, and Honeycrisp apples. Once I mixed these together, I was surprised by how delicious it was and it became my go-to breakfast drink.

Side Effects of Beet Juice

Now of course, there were a few...umm, complications when it came to drinking this beet juice. First, this beet apple carrot juice causes a little stomach discomfort initially. Oh heck, I'll call it what it is...It causes gas. My hubby seriously threatened to leave and I provided so much laughter to my daughter when I started drinking this juice. Now I can't be sure if this was caused totally by the beet juice or the fact that I started eating fruits and vegetables like crazy. If your body isn't used to tons of healthy food, it may react like that initially. I no longer have this problem if anyone was wondering.

Also, be prepared for your...umm...bodily waste to turn red. Don't freak out., it's normal and won't last that long. Again, your body has to get used to all the beet love. Other than those weird occurrences, beets are great!!!

Health Benefits of Beet Carrot Apple Juice

So what about those health benefits of this beet apple carrot juice you may ask? Here's a nice list for ya

  1. Beet juice lowers blood pressure and is good for overall heart health. According to Web MD, beet juice can lower blood pressure immediately after consumption.
  2. Beets are known to decrease the risk of spinal defects and brain delay in the fetus for pregnant women.
  3. Carrots are known to help with heart health as well as vision. I talk a little more about carrots here in my Jamaican Style Carrot Juice. Not as healthy but oh so good.
  4. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. ok, not really true but apples have a ton of health benefits as well.
  5. This juice is not recommended for anyone that suffers from kidney stones as beets and other oxalate-rich food should be eaten with caution.

Can I make Beet Carrot Apple Juice in a Juicer or Blender...That is the Question??

Both work wonderfully...however, if you decide to blend...I'd use a high quality blender and strain the juice afterwards.

Well, I hope you like this beets carrot apple juice recipe as much as I do. I'll be sure to continue to include more healthy (and non healthy...I love my sweets man) recipes in the coming weeks. Until next time...

Notes on Beet Carrot Apple Juice

  • Please use Honey Crisp or a similar juicy sweet apple. This is what gives the juice a sweet delicious taste.
  • This juice can be made with a juicer or a blender. If you're making with a blender, add a tiny bit of fruit juice or water and blend. Pour through a strainer and enjoy.
  • If your juicer is old school like mine and you have a thick consistency on top, either run through a strainer or stir juice before drinking.
  • Beets stain...so be careful when peeling because your hands will turn red, would hate to get that on your clothes.

Why Quick Seet Treats. So you may have noticed, I don't have tons of baked goods and sweet treats on the blog. It's not that I don't love making them, I really do...but there is this thing called time that just won't let me be great. I don't have enough of it. And I like my sweets and desserts. So I figured I would share a few desserts I like to make when I need something quick and in a hurry.
