Keep it simple.
Surround yourself with raw at home and when out.
Supplement with pre-made raw food if you can't make your own or don't want to.

There's tons of great recipes on here & other raw websites.

oh yes - i sometimes cook meat for the rest of my family - shock, horror. I eat my raw stuff all the time and as a consequence the amount of fruit that my 12 year old eats has quadrupled.

I wouldn't try to pressurize your husband because it won't work. You have to really want to eat raw from the heart to make it last. Just lead by example but support HIS choices.

Most children love fruit - some not so keen on raw veggies. You could make lovely fruit smoothies and 'hide' a few leaves of spinach in them. My 12 year old will drink smoothies by the pint but won't touch most salad vegetables. This is frustrating but not unusual. I find by standing back and not stressing about it he comes to new things in his own time.
