Corn Fed Iowa Girl Going Raw

What? No beef?!

Looking for some advice, tips, recipes to serve at dinner. This is two days new for me and I have three sons who will not be happy unless I do this right. I want them to have a wonderful transition of “rich” tasting foods so they don’t feel deprived of their normal diet.

I’m from IA and if there’s someone in the neighborhood that would be a bonus! I could use some advice on grocery stores, etc.

    I agree! I’m going to serve them occasionally and phase other items out! My rule is that they have to try everything but they don’t have to like it. My sixteen year old is not too mobile so he will enjoy raw once he starts.

    I am going to start w/ the easy recipes like a cabbage mango slaw etc. We love fruits and veggies, I also can and dehydrate to preserve. We’re going shopping for the Sabbath so we’re going to splurge a little on some new ingredients. I let my 15 year old look thru this site and he kept saying “yum, look at this!” and he ended up book marking some things to try. He’s more excited than I am right now so I’m going to go with it! I’ll let them select the recipes and then they’ll have a big part in it!

    Sweetpea, I will emphasize the goodness of God and the flavor of our Sabbath dinner! I think my mom is concerned but it’s not like I’m going to refuse a nice warm bowl of minestrone this winter.

    You can go to meetup.com and find a great raw food group in your area (or close to it) I joined one in the Kansas City area and it’s great for support! Good luck!

    Aaron (my middle son) is excited to start. He chose two recipes off of this site. The boo-nanners and a savory sweet and sour. As long as I let them pick the recipes it’s fun for all of us!

    Good idea Angie! I was thinking of making some for the daycare kids down the street. I was trying to think of another festive treat. There was a recipe called “Rotten Eggs” which consisted of 1/2 a peach laying on vanilla pudding (colored w/ green food coloring) and then a dash of cherry juice. I was looking on this site and I could use 1/2 peach (fresh instead of canned) and then this green pudding recipe: http://www.goneraw.com/recipes/2570-Key-Lime-Pi… with a touch of red fruit juice. It’s very gross looking, but my kids would enjoy eating “rotten eggs”.
