Define "food off the kitchen counter".
If you really can't stop her from feeding food to your dogs, at least make sure she knows what she's doing.
But if she's just feeding random things off the counter, you can tell your mom that if your dogs are not eating their kibble, then they are getting all their nutrients from what she feeds them. A proper raw diet needs to meet all the nutritional requirements for your dogs and that is especially important for growing puppies. Balance is key and any excess/deficiencies in vitamins or minerals can cause health problems.
Also, you can inform her about higher quality dog foods to show her that they're not all bad or scams. I feed my dogs Acana (grain-free line), one of the more reputable (and Canadian) brands out there, and they guarantee fresh human-grade ingredients (which they source themselves) and that no preservatives are used, among other things.
