Thanks Nudgy!
You are right on many points! Educating them on the subject is a great starting point. I'm worry that they are missing some stuff because they don't eat a big varieties of food .... I worry to much because I can already see a great improuvment in their eating habbit... I will continue to do my best! THANKS!

Hello there!!

I'm quite new in this website... but I had the chance to experiece raw food since a couple of months  I red some parts of your journal and I noticed that some of you have some beautiful kids!! : o ) I'm currently a nanny and I need help to find recipes that the children will like.. They are really picky.... The youngest one won't eat any raw vegetables (unless its a puree or pate) and the oldest one is the opposite he won't eat anything that it's mixt. (I'm quite fed up to give him some carrots sticsk and slices of tomatoe... ) He is starting to be more adventurous.. and I made a chocolate pudding made of avocadoes.. and he did like it....
The children are really not healthy... before I arrived they were fed on Kraft Dinner and Fish and Chips.... Do you have any tricks??? or know any good websites to find recipes... children would like??? or know a place in this website where they adress the subject???
Any help would be great!!!!

Thanks!!!!

I do have a question too regarding gaining weight...
When I started being raw I lost 10 pounds... I'm 5''9 and I was 125. (a little to thin I must admit) But after moving to Australia I did eat some cook food, never a complete meal but slices of bread once and a while... chips. etc. all the starchy stuff.... I gained 25 pounds in less then a month.. even tough  I was eating at least 95% raw.. Now I'm back to be 100% raw and I don't seem to be losing weight.... I don't really understand what is going on... Do you think that the little cook food I ate influence that much my weight??? Or maybe it was more emotionnaly... (differente country.. oh! weather.. (I was in Panama before) or the fact that I eat a lot of nuts and avocadoes?

Raisin Fudge

1 1/2 cup walnut (I used almonds)
1 1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup cacao powder (I used cacao nibs.. its was more crunchy)
pinch salt (tiny bit)

Thats the original recipe.. but I added some stuff for my sweet tooth... 

1/2 t vanilla essence
2 T raw honey
3 soaked dates + the water

Blend everything until smooth. Press into a glass dish. Freeze or refrigerate until firm then slice. SO good!!! Very rich I'm telling you!

Some raisin fudges I made yesterday! SO GOOD!!!

I have been using this ''method'' since a little while.... and it works well. I'm quite amaze! Life is so fantastic knowing that secret...   What you are thinking affect everything you have and are. So if you keep saying that you cant afford it... well someone which I call the cosmos will make sure that you can't. But if instead you are saying: my finance are growing, unlimited and fabulous, everything I want at my fingertips at any time... well guess what!! it will happen! I'm not saying to go and spend all your money... but just change your way of thinking when you can't afford something and wait for the result! And try the same for you body... I love my sexy, curvy, small, young, beautifull, body ) And try to avoid using I want... I want to be rich... well the cosmos will make sure that you always want something... and will not provide it. Good luck!

Hello everyone!
I arrived a month ago in Australia and I will like to meet some raw vegan!!! I'm close by Melbourne... I was wondering if there is an potluck organized for this month? THANKS!
