• My youngest is mostly raw. It was her decision. She is 11 and by far the healthiest and happiest of the 3. The older 2 think my food is “So Gross!” i find it interesting, though that my raw daughter misses chicken. I know it’s her body’s cry for mor…

• Wow! Ardesmond, you just need a burger. It’s been a little while since i craved them, but they were raw essentials. i always used soaked sunflower seed about 2C—they’re ready in 2 hours, meanwhile i grind up about 1/2c flax seeds in the coffee (gasp…
