Note:
My
husband, Darin, saw this recipe on Yahoo.
When he told me about it, honestly I didn’t think is sounded very good,
but I was AMAZED at how delicious it actually was! I don’t think it gets much healthier, especially
since we made our own tomato juice, and everything had JUST been picked out of
our garden! For the original recipe
