I just recently updated new information. Through my 3+ year illness I learned so many things that I would love to share with you! I found a good fit for me was an 80% raw diet, gluten free, and detox, detox along with treatments. I want to see you feeling good and living your true potential so you can live your dreams!

Red Pepper Sweet Potato Surprise

I am so excited to post this soup recipe that I made the other night with my blender. It was my favorite yet! And so fast! We had company over and they could not stop saying how yummy it was!

To start you can either use a sweet potato base from Trader Joes and add ingredients to it, or make with 2 cups water. I have made both ways and both were delicious! If you make it with water add part of an onion and cashews for more flavor.

In Blender
2 cups sweet potato base or 2 cups water ( if making for 4 people add more base )
half of one sweet potato
half of large red pepper
half of large carrot
1 garlic clove
sprinkle generously Tumeric
sprinkle generously Ginger
sprinkle generously Curry
sprinkle generously  Cayenne Pepper
Then heat briefly on low in pan on stove. Don't cook all the nutrients out! Now you have gourmet!
Cut up avocados and sprinkle in center with basil. Enjoy!


Make a salad to go along with it and use a few spoonfuls of the soup to mix in your salad dressing. Tons of flavor!
Olive oil
Coconut vinager
part of lemon
3-4 spoonfuls of soup
sprinkle tumeric
sprinkle ginger
sprinkle curry
sprinkle cayenne pepper
sprinkle cumin
Mix well and pour over salad. I love to make extra and keep on hand in fridge.
