Wow that one looks great. I am currently working on my grocery budget since we moved and have new places to buy things/different prices and also we are trying to get rid of the rest of our debt.

Make wholesome desserts or snacks, or offer to make a meal, but choose something that you know will go over well but is made with only real foods. If they enjoy or comment on it, then you've got an open door to make a small mention about what you made. Just do it slowly, and talk about it when they show interest (ie. not the rest of the time- most people don't want to hear about it until they ask and if you offer too much information, it will scare some people off). But hardly anyone will object to someone preparing something delicious and sharing it. :) That's a total start. :)

As this new year begins, I'm trying to think of easy ways to begin incorporating real foods into our lives without scaring anyone. :) Do you have any tips for a young girl who wants to share this healthful way of eating with her parents and family- without them thinking she has joined the "crazy organics?" They do care about health to a slight degree, but not enough to change our diet. We've switched to butter from margarine. That's a start, right? ohhhhh, I'm so excited for this new series!
