I'm also curious to see what others say about getting kids to eat a better variety of food. Ds doesn't like food to touch, is turned off by certain textures and really likes his beige foods. Though he has actually eaten some zucchini and strawberries from our garden lately
I made this coleslaw from my dr fuhrman Eat for Health book
yum!
1/2 cu rasins
1/2 cu apple juice
1/2 cu baked potato
1 tsp mustard
1 TB lemon juice
4 cu shredded cabbage
2 cu shredded carrots
1 cu shredded beets (optional)
1/4 cu finely sliced scallion
Blend raisins, apple juice, potato, mustard, and lemon juice in a high powered blender. mix w/remaining ingredients
Sooooo good. I used my vitamix to chop the veggies on level 3 and it was perfect.
I also made some "raw" almond butter by soaking some almonds then sprouting them (though they don't look any different so ) then I put them in the toaster oven on the lowest setting for a few minutes, then I blended them in the vitamix with some raisins- so good. going to try making more tomorrow with flaxseed blended in

I've gotten even more dedicated to a healthy diet recently. I think I have a sluggish liver and after eating Papa John's pizza a week or so ago I felt like I had an alcohol hangover for about 5 days I actually had to take ibprofen a few times to help my headache. I've been eating lots of cabbage and home-grown beets and that seems to have helped.
