• Well, my babies are 3 and 10, so not really ‘babies’. But they are raw/vegan most of the time. (can’t attest to time spent with grandma & dad)

• Shady Lady- I have and am going through nearly the EXACT same thing as you!! I haven’t had a chance to read all the posts, so I may be repeating, but I’ll give you my best suggestions. I went raw for health reasons, which was around the same time as…

• Bassling~ It sounds yummy. Be careful of pecans as they are hard to come by raw. I would maybe blend the filling ingredients for a more of a pudding pie & top with strawberries. Yumm, now I’m hungry! But, try it out & taste…that’s the sure w…

• Oh that’s scary about the GT’s Kombucha. My kids love it! I am not 100% raw, but even if my food diet was, I still enjoy alcohol. I usually do something social with friends one or two nights a week with friends. My biggest concern is always safety (…

  in Hard Evidence Comment by raw_mama
• I would say just stick to organic & fresh & stay away from things like garlic, onion, hot peppers, etc. Cruciferous veggies may make mommy & baby gassy, you just have to experiment. It’s really important to stay hydrated so lots of fresh…

• Just a little update…my uncle passed away last night. It was a quick and somewhat painless process, so we’re happy about that at least.

• Thanks for the info! He’s a meat & potatoes, fried food & beer type guy. I’m hoping he’ll want to make some diet changes. I plan on just giving him some suggestions and then sending him in the right direction as far as researching diet, etc.…

• Maybe you could pick a few key ingredients you have or would like to try & type them in the ‘recipe’ section & see what comes up. There are so many smoothie ideas, different types of salads (maybe try a slaw), veggie wraps, sun burgers, soup…

• Green smoothies would be great for a fast. You give your digestive system a huge break without the serious detox symtoms of a water fast. And you’ll still have the energy to go about your daily tasks. Keep it posted when you’re starting, I’d like to…

• Funny, I just wrote about not craving chocolate anymore! Yes, green smoothies saved me!! As well as eating raw in general…I have far fewer cravings for the bad stuff!

  in juicing to curb cravings Comment by raw_mama
• that’s a great idea about juicing and freezing. I also love lime juice on salads with just a sprinkle of himalayan sea salt. it’s a great replacement for a fatty salad dressing.

• RawLibrarian- I live in Lorton, about 20 miles or so south of DC. Where do you find the farmer’s markets at? It’s so hard to find fresh organic produce!

• For mopping floors I only use vinegar. I usually boil a big pot of water (because I’m a clean freak) & mix in vinegar. For scrubbing bathrooms I use baking soda. And for kitchen I either use a spray bottle with grape fruit seed oil & water o…

• Oh, thanks! I’m not too sure what I want to do with it. I may go into nutritional counseling or even (one day) have some kind of yoga/nutrition retreat type of business. I’d love to be able to counsel people with illness. I mostly (immediately) want…

• Great post! This is one of my biggest struggles. Ambikalee- I have the same issue with my son going to his dad’s. He’s finally given in and now gives our son almond milk and no meat. It’s a step. As far as a daily diet (my children are 10 & 2), …

• Pineapple seems to be the winner! I use one quarter of a Pina and the rest greens for me! Love it and very much addicted to it! ;) For my kids I add a couple bananas and flax seed to thicken it up and make it a little sweeter, etc.

• Hey skyespice~ my daughter’s name is Skye! I would love to take her to a homeopathic specialist, my problem is I have no idea how to find one in my area (if there are any in my area) and the cost. It’s tough enough paying my insurance plus $40 co-pa…

• I agree with both, reading and having pre-made foods. I have countless books on raw living and I keep them all over the house. I just pick one up and start reading anywhere. But realistically when you’re hungry, you tend to want to just grab whateve…
