I just prepared a raw food meal for my parents. I really had not intended to just yet. They just got here at 2 am this morning from out of state, but I started talking and demonstrating and before I knew it, I had a full raw meal.

I fixed avacado boats, flipped spinach with pinenuts, mock salmon surrounded with red peppers with a basil leaf on top, cultured veges that I had made some time ago, raw salad dressing made with persimmons, mixed greens salad, and carob pudding. Prior to that I poured them fresh coconut water because my father came in dehydrated, and demanded water. I told him I had just the thing for him. He was amazed.

Well, after the dinner, my mother told me that she could eat like this everyday. She said, with food this good, who needs cooked! She asked me what she needed to buy and wanted me to write down recipes because she said when she goes home, this is going to be her new lifestyle, but she did add, I think that I am a bit more set on this way of eating than your father, but he can just cook his own meals!!!!!!!! She said, this is what I have been looking for and I am excited to go.

Well, I had already ordered two books for her, and I presented them to her. She acted like she had found gold!!!!!! I have had those books for her since I first went raw, and that has been about two or three months ago!!!!

Just thought I would share. Small blessings are great!

What makes me feel so wonderful about you and your story is that you bought those books and had them waiting for them :)

It's like giving flowers. The flowers are great but the fact that someone thought enough of you to go out, find something, buy it, then give it is what really matters!!

So great to see you showing such Love for your parents and them responding so wonderfully. We don't often get a chance to give back to our parents all of what they gave us and you found a great way. Not just a recipe book.. NO you gave them something that can help them be healthy!

So happy for you :)

How awesome! :)

What a loving person you are to do this for your parents! I'm sure they can see the glow in you and your enthusiasm for such a healthy way of life! You've inspired me to try to get my parents to eat this way - like you, my mom will be easy, but my dad is a die-hard carnivore... :(

You are a blessing!
