I’m newish to raw as a mom to 3 kids, 3 cats and a dog, i’m also broke. I’m getting sick of eating hummus and plain veggies with the same basil every day and looking to spice (or sweeten) it up but i dont want to buy things i’ll get once and never use again. Thinking of trying some figs, nutritional yeast (havent tried this yet but its time to put it in the diet) agave nectar? hope it tastes good. any and all suggestions will be much appreciated.

I’m also new to raw (Mom of 2 kids, 2 Guinea pigs, 1 hamster and 1 cat) and I’m a very picky eater! I LOVE the agave nectar and the medjool dates for sweetners. I keep lemons and limes on the counter to make fresh “ades” and dressings every day or so. There are certain veggies and fruits I buy every week, like 3-5 different lettuces, carrots, cucumbers, tiny tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, cantaloup, watermelon, cherries, pineapple, peaches, berries (in season), lemons and limes. I buy as much as I can at my local Farmer’s market. I also tend to have lots of raw nuts and seeds. I like to check out the new recipes and add them to my box, then when I’m making my grocery list, I check out the recipes I want to make for the week and add the ingredients to my shopping list. This insures I have standbys in case I’m not happy with the recipe I try. Good luck to you and yours!!
