Hi! 

I can't say what they are but I'm happy you got them out. I think it's vitally important for everyone to do, especially if living in a warmer climate where the ground never freezes and parasites just thrive. 

Hey :) Pumpkin seeds are a pretty close match. 

Hi :)

In the middle of summer with the heat there may be some raw recipes the family actually appreciates. I know I was happy eating cold food frequently in July and August, so they may be easier to incorporate at this time of year. 

I would also consider making double portions when preparing meals for both yourself and the family so you can save them for later. That way you may actually get away with some mealtimes when the only thing you have to do is throw theirs in the microwave and take yours out of the fridge. Or it may give you some wiggle room to make an all cooked or all raw meal because the other one has already been taken care of. 

I'm in love with these ideas!

It's possible. Food and mood are so closely linked. I hope you're feeling better!
