The Huge Bus Tour!

<p>The Live Huge Tour, Summer 2010</p>

Posted: 06/29/10

ABC Family is launching its “Live Huge” campaign, a new health initiative in support of our upcoming one-hour scripted series, “Huge.”  The campaign will kick off with a national bus tour beginning in Michigan on Friday, June 18. The “Live Huge” Bus will make stops at festivals and fairs across the country throughout June and July 2010. To see a map of the bus tour, go here! 

The “Live Huge” Bus, which is wrapped in white, will serve as a blank canvas that will allow people to share how they “live huge” by writing messages directly on the bus that tells how they live their lives to the fullest.  With each stop, photos of people signing the bus will be uploaded to abcfamily.com for use in on the site’s digital mosaic – “The Live Huge Wall.”  Additionally, ABC Family will be distributing recipe booklets featuring healthy recipes from two cookbooks by Jamie Oliver - Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and the soon-to-be-released, Jamie’s America.

The bus tour will kick off at Hamburg Family Fun Fest (Hamburg, MI) on Friday June 18 and will continue on to make stops including:
 

June 19 – Mermaid Festival (North Webster, IN)

June 20 – Vermillion County Fair (Cayuga, IN)

June 22 – Rush County Agricultural Fair (Rushville, IN)

June 24 – Meramec County Fair (Sullivan, MO)

  • Get yourself a large sturdy saucepan with a lid and put it on a medium eat with a couple of lugs of peanut oil. Add a cup of popcorn kernels, put the lid on, and shake the pan every few seconds. When the first kernels start popping, keep the pan moving and add a large pat of butter and about 1 teaspoon of a funky chili powder (smoked chipotle chili powder is incredible). If you can find some interesting dried chiles remove their stalks, bash the chiles to a fine powder in a pestle and mortar, and use that instead of the chili powder. Keep shaking the pan until it&rsquo;s all popped, then tip the popcorn onto a big tray and season to your liking with sea salt and 1 teaspoon of chili powder, to taste. A brilliant thing to serve for nibbles. All recipes from &quot;Jamie&rsquo;s America,&quot; by Jamie Oliver Copyright (c) 2010, Published by Hyperion All Rights Reserved.

  • This is a lovely soup&nbsp;-- very simple and traditional. If you want to give it an Italian vibe, simply add a can of diced tomatoes, the torn leaves from a few sprigs of fresh basil, and some broken spaghetti&nbsp;-- delicious. Serves 6&ndash;8 2 carrots 2 celery stalks 2 medium onions 2 cloves of garlic 1&frac34; quarts chicken or vegetable broth preferably organic 1 x 15-ounce can of cannellini beans 2 cups cauliflower 2 cups broccoli 7 cups (7 ounces) spinach leaves 2 large ripe tomatoes sea salt and freshly ground black pepper extra virgin olive oil To make your soup Peel and roughly slice the carrots Slice the celery Peel and roughly chop the onions Peel and slice the garlic Put the broth in a saucepan and heat until boiling Put a large saucepan on a medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil Add all your chopped and sliced ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon Cook for around 12 minutes with the lid askew, until the carrots have softened but are still holding their shape, and the onion is lightly golden Meanwhile, drain your beans Break up the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets Roughly chop the spinach Quarter the tomatoes, removing any stalks Add the boiling broth to the vegetables in the pan Add your cannellini beans, cauliflower,broccoli, and quartered tomatoes Give the soup a good stir and bring to a boil Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on To serve your soup Add the spinach to the pan and cook for a further 30 seconds, then remove the pan from the heat.

Ladle the soup into serving bowls and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil All recipes from &quot;Jamie&rsquo;s Food Revolution,&quot; by Jamie Oliver Copyright (c) 2009, Published by Hyperion Available wherever books are sold.
