National Carrot Day

Yes, it's true. Today is National Carrot Day. How did you celebrate? I had carrot curry soup inspired by this web site's recipe and my friend Annie. (Of course I always change recipes, so if you want mine, ask.) The carrot soup was actually leftovers. It wasn't a planned celebration. Neither was my Yes to Carrots eye cream and lotion I wore today. I love Yes to Carrots products. They're paraben free, mostly natural, contain Dead Sea Minerals, and are formulated in Israel. They're affordable AND you can buy them at Bartells! Whoa!

I'm hoping that the beta-carotene and Vit K I ate in the soup will help my skin look less transparent this winter. You know the little orange noses that babies get when they begin eating mashed sweet potatoes and carrots, well I'd like a little of that in my skin. Guess we'll be having sweet potatoes with our pork tenderloin later this week. Mmmmm.

But did you wear orange? Wow, somehow I missed that it was carrot day! I usually have it highlighted on my calendar - ha! We didn't celebrate, but I can say that we did eat baby carrots with lunch today as they are the girls' current vegetable of choice :) In Vegas, they have Yes to Carrots at Walgreens too. I had some samples and really liked it - maybe I'll have to buy the real thing, hey, it is National Carrot Day! Hugs, Kristin
