CREAMY NUT-TY SOUP

I was in the mood for soup today so I went for it! oh, before we get to the soup, just wanted to share one of my favorite lyrics with you...Songwriters ROCK! that includes me too I guess...words, words...words...

CREAMY NUT-TY SOUP 

Ingredients:

3 tomatoes
1 leek
1 red bell peppers
3 Tbsp fresh basil
2 tsp fresh parsley
3 Tbsp Cashew butter
Juice of half a lemon
Pinch of salt
1/2 a cup of water
3-4 Medjhool dates

Put all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Drizzle with 1/2 a tsp of olive oil, garnish with some green onions and paprika. I added a little cayenne pepper to mine because I like it hot. Also, some people may like their soup warm, so it's okay to go ahead and warm yours a little. I like mine cold :) I used several pieces of celery sticks as my spoon and ate it with the soup with each bite, cool huh?

INTRODUCING THE OFFICIAL FACE OF FYR™

It just makes sense that the youngest member of FYR™, my partner and long time FYR™ enthusiast, Nina Lakota, should be the official face of FYR™, not because she is my daughter but because she personifies everything FYR™ stands for, youth, health and sheer joy. She even puts me to shame when I start to 'fall off the wagon' on my FYR™ journey:

"Oh, Mama, you know you're not supposed to eat that!", 

"That's just unhealthy!" 

"You can do it Mama, you promised yourself you would exercise today, come on, don't let yourself down." 

"I can't wait to do raw food again, and all those raw desserts, yum!" 

"Your form is off Mama, you're not doing it like the girl on the workout tape, squat lower..." 

"Mummy, I don't want eggs or meat, I want a salad, something fresh and healthy..." she goes on and on and on. Not that we don't splurge occasionally, we do, but when I'm on one of my quarterly detox periods, and I have to stick to the plan, she watches me with eagle eyes "I just want you to be successful at what you do," is what she tells me.

So I asked her a few days ago if she would like to be the Official face of FYR™ and she said yes, that is, after she asked "Will I get paid to do that?" LOL well, yes Ms. Nina, of course, and you can add that to your resume or portfolio too. Little Ms. Entrepreneur!

This got me thinking that we need more young and beautiful faces for this campaign. So FYR™ is conducting a search for 'little' faces to add to our site and eBooks, we need many more FYR Kids™.

Nina came up with some great recipes for her own FYR™ kids dessert Book, yes, this one will be in Print not just an eBook, and we are throwing a 'Mommy & Me for FYR™'  and/or 'Daddy & Me for FYR™' challenge to every parent. The idea is to come up with a simple dessert (ingredients have to match those on the FYR™ approved list, so you have to purchase the FYR™ Lifestyle eBook, The 90-Day Companion may also give you some great ideas). The best recipes (creativity and presentation) will be featured in the FYR™ Kids Dessert book, along with bios and photos. Also, Mom/Dad and child must be spotted with any of the FYR™ gears in their entry photo (mug, apron, t-shirt etc) you can get these from the FYR™ Shop at http://www.cafepress.com/foreveryoungrevolution

I am excited to see new FYR kids™ faces. This challenge runs till June 1st and winners will be announced June 15th (along with the winners of the 90-day challenge) and will be notified when the Book is published. Remember to drink and eat to your health, you'll thank me later!
