Making It Raw!

Profile Information

About Me:
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. My husband and I own and operate a raw food business called 'Making It Raw'. My website is finally up. Our focus is on Kids and of course for parents as well.
I've been a vegan for 19 years, and 70% raw during that time.
I'm also a Certified Chef and Nutritionist and later certified as a Rawfood Chef and Lifestyle Coach.
I went 100% raw 7 years ago and started teaching raw classes and workshops.
I've written and published my first book called, 'Have Your Cake & Eat It To' that you can view at www.rawmom.com or visit my blog at http://moniqueatmakingitraw.blogspot.com
I've written several articles for the Raw Divas.
I'm currently working on a new book with Stephani McGirr, another mom from rawmom.com .
The new book is called 'Healthy Kids In A Toxic World' . We have a 'RAW KIDS MAGAZINE' coming out in July. When it's ready you'll be able to order it from the sight. For now the first issue of the magazine will be free. I would love to keep it free but it will not be possible.

RAW KIDZ MAGAZINE

Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've been working on a new magazine called, 'RAW KIDZ MAGAZINE.' We're hoping to have it out by July. We have a great team working together to make this an amazing magazine for KIDS. You can view a picture of one of the covers I'm working on in my photos page.

If any of you Raw Chef's would like to work with Kids and be featured in a future issue of the magazine let me know.

Have an AMAZING WEEK!

Just to let you know

Hi Everyone,

In case you don't know I have another blog that I joined in July. At that point I didn't have a lot of time as I was still healing from my accident that I had back in April. I'm still healing and my physio. is helping. Anyway to make a long story short, yesterday I did a Google search for my business name and my name to see if this blog and my other blog would show up somewhere on the long list. This blog did! And I thought my other one did, so I click it and it ended up being some… Continue

Hi Monique!
Congratulation on your book writing...that's no simple task, and a great accomplishment. I can perform recipe analysis for nutrients for future books, should you ever have the need. Keep up the great work!
peace and hugs,
Lorena~

Hi Monique! either day is fine, the time of day is the tricky part with all of kidies running around :) Let me know what time is best for you and I'll try to work something out so my husband can keep an eye on the kids. Any idea what kind of questions you would like to ask?

Hey Monique! Great Idea about the raw kids magazine. If it is easier we can conduct an online interview where you can send me questions and i will answer them? Let me know. We're still finding our groove here, but if you let me know when a good time for you would be we could schedule it in. Hope you have a great day! :)
