~Maggots Made Hannah Go Raw!!!~

(This is my blog post today from RawFu, just had to share it here with you, with a few new notes at the bottom...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow, whatta day we've had! Suddenly, Hannah's totally on board & is going 100% with me!!! Thanks to MAGGOTS!!!
I made her some tapioca days ago, & a bunch never got eaten & was forgotten in a pot on the ledge, & today, I asked her to dump it so I could wash it...& it was crawling with LIVE maggots!...
...which led to a discussion about grains, & the eggs on them (they had to come from somewhere, right?)
...she'd already gone vegetarian, now she's DONE with grains (especially the processed stuff! She wants to try wheat berries sprouted & made into dehydrated bread, but says she'll wash them first!)
Then we discussed milk, (which she loves) & the amount of pus in it, & suddenly, she just said, "That's it, I'm going raw with you!"
...& THEN, she got all excited, & took over the kitchen!!!
She decided to make a BUNCH of recipes, so first, we made avacado chocolate pudding, then Bunny's fried okra recipe using zucchini, (YUM!) (just grind sunflower & flax seeds in coffee grinder & add spices (I added a Mrs. Dash veggie mix, cumin, salt & peeper would work, whatever!) & then put chopped zucchini {cubes} into a bowl, drizzle flax (or whatever) oil over it, then pour the dry stuff on top, mix together, put in dehydrator awhile (1-3 hours, depending on th temperature...I had it too low, we ate them not quite done ,but the were still sooo good, & SOOO filling!! & are yummier the longer they dehydrate!) then she just had to make the sunflower cheese! (Sunflower seeds ground in coffee grinder, lemon, garlic, bit of salt, I think, then process in food processor...blender would work, too...Oh, SO good!)
...then when I was in on the computer, she secretly invented a banana pudding, so I told her about banana milk, & we're going to make it for breakfast, & she has me writing out recipes for the flax bread, some cheesecake, & the eggnog smoothie so she can make them herself tomorrow if I sleep in!
Somethin' tells me the groceries are gonna be dissapearing fast!!!She even let me bag up all the non-raw stuff she's been eating, to give to our friends!
WOW. I'm in awe at how God answers prayer....even using the lowly maggot to do so!
We're going to plan the recipes we want to try, she's got us a shopping list going, & she's soooo excited! She told me, now that she's tried these recipes tonight, she can totally understand now how it's possible (she was marvelling that I've been living on smoothies & salad & fruit for snacks, thought that was the only way to do this, & said she KNEW she could never do THAT...)
The zucchini was awesome! (Thanks, Bunny, even though it wasn't okra!) It was suprisingly VERY filling! We were soooo hungry we couldn't wait (took longer than I expected, but I don't think I had it turned up enough...) & even barely dehydrated & still quite soft (after 2 hours) it was quite yummilicious!!! The spices were the key, & I can't wait to try new kinds! {Oh, I bet cumin would go incredibly well with it, gotta get some!}
Anyways, just had to share how wonderful today was, maggots & all!
Woulda taken pics, but it's been too hot all day to put many clothes on! Lol!
(Besides, we flushed the maggots! Lol!)
Hannah's soooo excited now, she can't sleep, & keeps inventing recipes, bringing things out, telling me to close my eyes & open my mouth & try them! So far now she's made banana pudding, chocolate covered strawberries, & has a secret breakfast almost totally ready in the fridge waiting for us to get up!
I'm gonna GAIN weight, at this rate!!! (have explained I can't eat nuts daily!)
I think she's found her calling, she LOVES to prepare food, & has missed cooking for me sinse I went raw, & is so excited about using whole, live foods...
...not to mention all the energy it's giving her! She's in cleaning her room at 12:55 am!!! Hyper on all the raw energy!!! Reminds me of me the first week!!!
(She's been having more & more raw each day, & noticed today when she ate rice today it felt different, heavy, & slowed her down a lot!)
Couldn't get her to sleep right now if I drugged her!!! Lol!
{But I better go try!}
