arcadia news {january cookbook column}

writing this column on a monthly basis has introduced me to so many interesting people, ideas and homes.  this month was particularly inspiring.  the couple i interviewed / photographed shared their juicing habits with me.  they juice a few times a week and have found some delicious flavor combos that are just so unique and different.
they inspired me to get my own juicer and begin juicing, which inspired a friend of mine to get on the juicing bandwagon.
when she started juicing, she sparked even more people to incorporate healthy habits into their daily lives.
inspire on, my friends.
2014 - let's get it!
