Raw July: Week Two


After our second week of eating raw, I'm wishing the entire family were doing the same, mainly because I end up preparing two meals every evening.  I'm really enjoying this adventure of making raw food, and cooking feels unnecessary and routine now.  Righty has already said he'd like to eat raw with us next time we do this, and I think Lefty would probably join in too.  They love food so much they just don't care how it's served!
