hey,
tomorrow i will start my job as a babysitter for a vegan family. the mother is very open to raw food. i want to make some yummy recipes with the kids. the recipes should be natural as possible like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HidehB5uyQ&feature=channel (what does he use for cheese? yeast flakes? are they raw?) or much more. at their home there is no blender, dehydrator and so on, so i need very simple recipes. have anybody a good recipe or a link where to find?

the above link is to a site with simple recipes with no dehydrator - she uses a food processor quite a bit but most can be adapted to chopping and grating. Hope this helps, good luck with the babysitting.

To get back into the groove, I am challenging myself to 30 days. Today is day one, and so far so good! Also It seems I am spending less on raw food than I would otherwise, but I am keeping it very simple. What do you guys think about luna bars?? I bought a few chocolate luna bars that are 90% raw, just in case of an emergency craving.

Hi Banana Bear, I don't know luna bars, but I think the most important thing is your own reaction to foods like that - if you know that one bar will satisfy your craving then its probably fine and even maybe a beneficial thing - stopping you from eating worse stuff - BUT, if you're like me - I know if i eat something like that its sets off a chain of cravings for all sorts of stuff and then I am bound to fail!

good luck

I gotta agree with Vicky...if you can handle the bars w/o falling off the produce truck, then on occasion is fine...you are in transition, remember?...i think people get so fanatical about all this (as was my case when i first began) and don't just try to be human...important thing is to THINK BEFORE U EAT anything and know what the effect it will have on you if u do make that choice... if u have major health issues, then the story is different!!...blessings

Thank you, I just realized I said luna bars but they are larabars.
As of right now, I don't need them, but wanted something on hand for my mom sometimes brings chocolate and treats into the house (which she did today) but I made a very delicious smoothie & she put the chocolate down to try the smoothie, which she also tried to take away from me!
thanks for the advice ladies :D

Hello!
I'm totally new to RAW! I have been veggie on and off for about 20 years. My family are meat-eaters though so it's a bit of a struggle. I've never quite managed to stay vegan for any length of time, but I've been considering RAW for years! I'm not sure whether I will just be able to go "cold turkey" or drop cooked food bit by bit? But I've spent a ton on recipe books and ordered loads of cool raw stuff so I'm really quite excited now!
