We love to see other people spread the word about fresh, living, raw foods. When it comes to children that have grown up eating American food it's very hard to get them to realize that fresh, living, raw food is REALLY a great way to eat and that it REALLY does taste better.  It may be different, and probably not as sweet as the food industry has made us believe it SHOULD be, but it's GOOD! And yes, it's hard to convince adults of the same thing.....

I was thrilled to see this video from the Boutenko kids. They are a wonderful inspiration.



Although their story starts years prior, it is still true. (Thanks go out to the Boutenko family for sharing their story!) The best food for everyone is still fresh, living, raw foods. Unprocessed is the best word that describes it. All the years that I have been cooking I never knew there was another way to sweeten cookies, deserts and drinks that was as simple as using dates or raisins instead of processed white sugar. Did you? If you did, do you? I love to share some "raw" food with friends and tell them that it was made with NO packaged processed products. Of course the comment is always "really?", and then I love to share what it takes to make a wonder meal, desert or appetizer recipe with them. I have totally succumbed to the fresh, living, raw foods lifestyle. It feels good, looks good and has promise for the future. You've heard me say before, it's not about raw or uncooked. It's about unprocessed. I think it describes the "lifestyle" a little better than raw....and dang it, we've already got our website name picked out! I guess we can't change the name of a whole movement now can we? What's the difference? Raw, Unprocessed? It's all the same to me......

Are you ready to go unprocessed? What's stopping you?
