Hi Guys! Thanks for all your sweet comments on last night's post! You make me smile each time for real! Today I was pleasantly surprised to learn from my
diva friend that today is
National Chocolate Cake Day! Luckily it was birthday cake day in the office- a wonderful time when we pretend to like each other and then eat cake. This was only made better because they decided to serve chocolate cake! I casually told my secretary friend of the glorious holiday and she announced it to the office. I had to provide back-up (I'm surrounded by nerds), but I found some article from the
US Post, so it's a legit holiday!
Sorry, no photo. Nobody at work knows about my little hobby. I don't think they are my target market, so I don't tell them about it.
Anyhoo, I celebrated like a champ with a demure little piece in front of everyone and then another similar sized piece for a pre-workout meal. I made the mistake of saving up for cake time and I was truly hungry! Nothing cures hunger like chocolate cake! It kinda made me queasy, but I had plenty of energy for another random
workout:
- 1 mile warm up run
- 20 minutes elliptical intervals
- 15 minutes bike intervals
- 4 back exercises (lat pulls, another back thingy, rows, and pullups)
- Followed by stretching
I was a mess and came home to eat my treasure- my first attempt at
raw crackers made of my juice pulp! It took me 12 hours in my oven but I did it and they were gooooood!
Believe me, they taste better than they look. This is the pulp of carrot, zucchini, and orange juice. I don't have a recipe yet because I need to drink more juice and try it again! I served the crackers with some more zuch sauteed in spices and agua:
Topped with some of this sauce. I have to keep myself from drinking this sauce:
What I have no problem containing myself around is the actual juice:
I made it last night and drank half this morning. I take it like shots and it ain't pretty. I will have to chug the rest tomorrow!
My question for you: Do you juice? What's your favorite juice combo?

I love that Trader Joe's sweet chili sauce! IT is so good!
I'm so impressed you make your own crackers!
Ugh-- I had a BAD juice experience last week, and have stayed away from my juicer ever since.
BUT, that being said, I do like the combo of carrot, apple, spinach and parsley.
I love sweet chili sauce!!
Haha, great minds think alike - I asked the same question last night :-)
I just started juicing and I LOVE it. I haven't found my favourite combo yet, but I love to have a grapefruit in there!
Yay for National Choco cake day! I'm sure I'll find a way to celebrate! A juicer is definitely at the top of my wishlist. I was shocked to find out that even v8 juices have high fructose corn syrup in their top three ingredients!
greeat national holiday haha. all your eats look so good :)
Wow what a great holiday!!!!
I have to look for that sauce, the next time I go to TJ...you should do a post of your all your fave TJ products!
yay for national chocolate cake day!! any excuse to eat that wonderful food works for me!!
I don't juice, but I make green smoothies, if that counts!
These National days are getting a little crazy, don't you think!? I mean, who needs more excuses to eat things like chocolate cake?! You know, for some people it's ok, but seriously I KNOW some people will use these "National Days" as excuses to indulge! Oh well..it's kind of funny.
I don't juice, but I really want a juicer. If I had one, I'd throw in everything but the kitchen sink! haha, seriously, I would.
Thanks for the post! Your blog is super fun & the raw crackers look awesome! Looking forward to the recipe :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! National Chocolate Cake day fell on my birthday, so there was definitely a celebration :)
I've never juiced anything other than an orange, but I'm always impressed with the bloggy creations I see!
Lol!!!! I love how you said 'we pretend to like eachother' oh good old coworkers!!! That made me laugh!!
Yay it was chocolate cake, so u really did celebrate !!! Yes it is legit, haha!!!!
Nope not making up the holidays!!!! If I did make up a holiday it would be National Whole Foods Day, where everyone goes to Whole Foods and gets a major discount!!!!!!!! Oh I can think of so many more!! How about National Lovers Day!! Hehehe!!!
Ummmmm I wish I had a Hello Kitty outfit for her, if you ever see one tell me!!!
What kind of juice is that??
And wow 12 hours??!!!! Ok I might have to make those though, whats the recipe : )
Love ya girl!!!! Oh I love writing novels when I comment you!!!!
xoxo
I don't juice but I really want to buy a juicer and start!!!
I want a juicer so badly...that being said I obviously haven't ever made my own but I think it would be really cool! Great blog!!
A juicer is really something that is on my foodie wish list. I would do a lot with spinach, carrots, and exotic fruits.
I wish I would've celebrated national chocolate cake day!! I don't have a juicer, and I don't think I would get one. I'm more of a smoothie drinker.
Nice post and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you for your information.
Brim over I agree but I contemplate the collection should acquire more info then it has.
