I recently got a juicer. and I even more recently (if by ‘recently’ you mean ‘yesterday’) had a taco party, so I put away the Slow Cooker — Ron Swanson’s favorite indoor kitchen appliance, with “a grill” and “fire” taking the outdoor division — and got out the juicer. I ate like a cartoon animal yesterday, dear reader, and while it was all good, it was all-encompassing. So I just wanted something light. 

And then I looked at what was in the fridge. Because wasting food makes me feel like an a-hole these days. So, I made this. 

Carrot-Pineapple-Jalapeno Juice

2 Lbs carrots, cleaned

1 pound pre-cut Pineapple spears someone was nice enough to bring to your party

1 jalapeno, ideally from Brian Udovich’s Garden. 

Juice. Drink. 

This in no way makes up for the jalapeno-turkey bacon breakfast tacos earlier, but it’s not bad.
