After finishing the juice diet that I just finished, I am *trying* to be all about seriously healthy food. Tons of salads, vegetables and clean, fresh whole foods,

Everyone around my house has a one track mind right now. The Easter Bunny.
This was a special request by none other than my 8 year old nephew Dylan!
They went to a great French café in town, and he ordered the Carrot Curry Soup. I guess he scarfed the whole bowl down and loved it so much that he wanted me to come up with a recipe.
