Holiday dilemma....
Have two holiday dinners with two NON raw families, both families have no interest in raw foods, even though they are on tons of meds and sick all the time, I don't mind serving them cooked but would rather not and like to show them some nice dishes that are raw, only problem one has diverticulitis... so most of my favorite recipes involve nuts or seeded fruits and veggies... any suggestions on this? I do have Alissa's book :)
My other family.... mother's husband just got out of the hospital from having a swollen pancreas and has to have his gallbladder out SOON once the swelling goes down.... so supposedly he is on clear liquids and jello, both he and my mother are morbidly obese, I've tried to kindly offer healthy advice but it's shunned... I'm planning a raw Christmas dinner and I'm stumped on what to serve someone with pancreas issues.... I offered suggestions but she insists on jello so he can get more calories from the sugar... OMG...and says he cannot have healthy fats... long long story short, I don't know what to serve, she swears there are no "raw foods" on his list of foods he can have and I just cannot see how....
They can choose to go hungry I suppose but if I could I would like to offer an option or two..
Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch
