Thoughts On My 7 Days of Raw

So I guess "see you in a few days" became "see you in a month". LOL! Apologies for my delayed update, but I was taking my time since I still had a ton of research to do in writing my assignment and presentation with my group for our thoughts on going raw for 7 days. I wanted to also integrate some of what I'd learned along the way into this post, so hopefully the wait was worth it.

Raw Week: Day 2

Day 2. I've been thinking about how you need to be quite organized with this 100% raw business. So I figured I'd also list out when I start prepping stuff for the upcoming day(s), so you'll get an idea of what comes next. Raw IS quite a bit of work (no wonder all those store-bought raw snacks are so expensive), but I think the trick is to get...
