Going Organic

So I have been thinking about making the transition for our family to organic foods for quite awhile but have been hesitant. Mainly because of the cost. Being a single income family....we are on a pretty tight budget. But, with a lot of documentary watching and good conversations with my friends Natalie and Lucas....I feel it is time. Cliff and I have decided it is important enough to cut our budget in other areas. I went to a market here in town that is all organic and got a few things to see what the cost would be like. Not as horrible as I thought.


I used some of what I got to make Aidan's lunch today. I recently ordered a baby/toddler cookbook. I feel like Aidan eats 4 or 5 meals over and over for his lunches and I was really wanting him to eat better. Here is my attempt to try and cook something different and healthy for him. I steamed up some broccoli and made him a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. I smooshed the broccoli in with the peanut butter so that he would actually eat it...LOL Hopefully I can get some more ideas from my cookbook. I'm also excited to start making Ryla's baby food. Very Fun!!!!

Kyle and I do organic too, but only for food that is high risk for pesticides. Avocado, banana, and mango are not worth the high price. There is a list that I will post for you. PS. I have like three Christmas bows for you ( I know a little late), but I have to get my thesis done right now. I will also have a Halloween bow for you too! Your little girl is so sweet and pretty.
