Greetings and raw salutations!

Hoping this week finds you well and happy!

I'm busy and totally enjoying myself and life around me. I hope you are as well. It's all a choice, isn't it... What do we choose to do with our lives - how we choose to feel each day, etc.

Take good care and enjoy the day!

Butternut Squash Soup

By Frederic Patenaude

1 and 1/2 cups water
2 cups butternut squash, diced
4 ribs of celery
2 Tbs. tahini
2 green onions
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. paprika 

Instructions:
Blend the water and half of the butternut squash. Add progressively the other half as well as the rest of the ingredients and blend. This is a sweet soup that will surprise more than one. It is ideally made using a heavy-duty blender such as the Vita-Mix.
