DIY Organics

Happy Monday all, hope you had a great weekend and GO BEARS!!!!!!
while most football parties include, wings, beer, dips, and other items you can't pronounce half the ingredients and spend the afternoon close to a bathroom. Well ours had organic waffles, kale chips, salsa, guacamole, chips, and fruit. Not your typical party, we know.  There was beer if you wanted it but also Shakeology from Beach Body and orange juice and coffee.
I have to be honest and say I was one of those that was put off by the expense of organic and local eating but it truly can be extremely affordable, I have found many articles along the line of  "eating organic on a food stamp budget" The key is doing it yourself. I am working on that whole chicken this week. Yesturday our waffles we bought the ingredients and made them from scratch, when others do the work for you you pay for it, sooo buy the ingredients local/organic and experiment at home....DON'T HAVE TIME? hog wosh! Make it an event with your friends/family/kids........Got a big week this week, starting my turbofire work out routine and trying to integrate some raw foods in my diet. Keep ya posted?
Any ideas about raw foods?

ALSO I just booked a trip to India and Malaysia so keep tuned for some truly frugal ideas and experiences.
