We've gone Raw!

"Alright, I've got the kale, lets party!!"


Well it has taken 3 months of gradual change but Derek , Caleb and I are raw vegans!
It has been super fun discovering new foods and recipes and I still spend too much time getting excited about new recipes to try, but it keeps me going :)
Right now Derek is the king of avocado's, and partial to mangos and dates too (who isn't? ;)
I am enjoying and even CRAVING veggies which is a new experience to me :D
Brent is wonderful as he has put up with all my shinannigans(?) without complaint and totally thirilled me by asking for some raw food bars on my next Co-op trip, as he noticed that he thinks more clearly when eatting raw food!!!! WOW That, from my 1-2 fast food stops per day hubby has me in.....speechless actually :D
For about the last 2 months Brent has been taking apples; then apples and bananas, and now sometimes some raisins too for breakfast, he has changed a lot!
So proud of my boys!
For some mouthwatering pictures of raw food, peek at these sites!

Kale and Party should never, ever go in the same sentence. It does go well with that photo though. Made me laugh :)

Congrats! Sara has been doing the Raw thing for about 10 days and reports good things. I can't bear to quit my grill just yet, but we will see....

Oh what a funny picture!
And I have to add that Derek loves his avocados and mangos. He chomps them right down.
But he wants salt & herbs on his 'cados and he wants to eat them with his tiny fork.
