But my wife is extremely picky about how her food tastes. I just know that if I tried home made ketchup, for example, I would get "the look".

And thanks for the link!<br />I don't know if you guys have EarthFares, but checkout their website because they often offer Pantry Makeovers...at least at ours in NC...where you take in select "regular store bought" items (ketchup, Peanut Butter, jelly, dressings, etc.) and they give you their organic brand free to try in exchange for the nasty stuff. <br />I'm loving that you make your own chicken stock! Soup from bones, girl! We do that here a lot as well. Check in your area for some local farms and see if they sell whole chickens...free range, no hormones or antibiotics...ours here run about 3.50 lb for a 3-5 lb chicken. That's really the way to go!<br />Way to go on all this positive change!<br />Kelli @ SustainingCreativityKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243867972491277139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-63023234373663567462010-01-27T19:53:35.946-06:002010-01-27T19:53:35.946-06:00I have the January Blahs as well.

I do try really hard to make food from scratch and limit the processed stuff but I just can't seem to commit to it 100%. <br /><br />Case in point: This week I've been sick with a bad cold and couldn't face making proper dinners so we dipped into the chicken nuggets and fish sticks.
