I have a hunch that eating a mostly raw or 100% raw diet is to not make a big deal out of it. I think the secret is just doing it. I woke up this morning thinking that I wanted oatmeal or toast for breakfast, but I had determined in my mind last night that I would try to eat as much raw food as possible today. I did have my coffee, but I couldn’t even finish the cup. It just didn’t taste all that great to me. I made my juice again (the recipe is below) and I’m really loving it. My daughter loves it too. Can I do a happy dance now?
I made Tanja’s flax crackers yesterday and intend to make her creamy dill dip today to go with them. I’m not at all a fan of flax cracker aftertaste, but I’m thinking that those crackers, combined with the dip and maybe topped with a tomato or cuke will make a nice lunch or addition to the giant salad I intend to make.
I really think just doing it and not making a big production out of it may make a big difference for me. Last time, I talked it to death with my friends. I blogged about it on Raw Food Talk. I became obsessed with raw food and made others sick and tired of hearing about it. Not this time. This time, I’ll work at adding great foods in (like my juice in the morning) and eat quietly.
Oh, and I have to just say one more thing about my daughter- she LOVES my nut cheeses and dips, so if I end up not liking it, she eats it for me. LOVE THAT! I’ll make a vegan out of her yet. She doesn’t like dairy anyway, but she loves meat, so that makes me sad 
. But, yay for her anyway!

You go! You’re doing so awesome! I know the feeling, of something that you used to think was so tasty and then…poof! I don’t care for it really!
