Beefsteak, Anyone??


When my son Zack, 11, told me he wanted some steak for lunch, I had an idea (I needed one, I don't have any steak!). What if it wasn't quite steak, but had the same steak seasonings he loves? Even better-what if I could get him to eat a new Raw food at the same time as substituting beef for something healthier?? Now we're talking! Well, I came up with BEEFsteak tomatoes sliced up, with all natural seasonings designed for steak. I tried the concoction on my youngest son (a tomato fan) first. When he said, "Zack-tastes just like steak," (?) I was thrilled. Not because he was accurate, but because I might just slip this past Zack's lips. Sure enough, he tried it and smiled. Now we can add this to Zack's regular intake of Raw nutritiousness-yay! But will it fool my husband.......?

I think you will easily get it past your husband if you serve it with a "smile" and green tank top

Love your creativity with the steak craving, & wow, I really enjoy your blog! (especially the pics, but it's ALL good!)
It's great that you're gently setting the example for your family, wanting the best for them, but not pushing! They'll soon see how much better they feel whenever they eat raw!
See you at raw Fu!
