After the purchase of a new cookbook, I'm always inspired to get out and try the new recipes. So many soups, baked goods and kid friendly kinds I can barely make up my mind on where to start first...in this case, it's was they "Eat Clean for Family and Kids Cookbook". I Love, so appealing with overly stylized pictures of each recipe..but my gosh, a lot of new ingredients I don't normally stock-but want to, really.
Agave Nectar $8.79
Sucanant $4.69
Kefir $2.99
Organic berries, um..double the price and never again is all I'll say about that. Now I have to sit down and really figure out how I can afford this improved way of eating.
We have ALWAYS been healthy here, or, at least I have been and continually attempt at convincing John and the kids to be, but aside from that, we don't eat like crap. I don't allow it.
But eating 'clean' is a whole new ballgame, right down to making your own ketchup. That'll be a whole new posting...

Hey girl! I have made my own ketchup for years. Derek the ketchup snob and critic loves it! No sugar in it either.
Agave is not what it is cracked up to be. Save your money! Use stevia instead...a little goes a loooong way. :) I can send you a sample if you want.

I make my own ketchup too - very yummy. I second the nix on agave nectar. Although it is certainly the "hip" eat-clean sugar replacer right now I have read some articles that compare it to high-fructose corn syrup as far as refining and "healthiness" I don't know how it compares to Sucanat as far as processing, but you can buy demerara sugar at the Bulk Barn for less than you are probably paying for sucanat. And don't forget that when you eat whole, good foods you stay full longer and need to eat less, so that evens out some of the higher costs! If you're really in to eating healthy you should read "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan- you'll never think about food the same way again.
