Instead of buying processed foods, learn how to make the things you like at home. It's usually cheaper and healthier! This week, find one item that you often buy and learn how to make it at home.

We make all our own bread, it's 100% whole wheat and preservative free. :) I make homemade hummus, homemade soups, etc. This way I avoid many canned/processed foods. It does take time, but it keeps out the trans fats, MSG, high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and other nasty food additives.

    We have been making more and more of our own things at home. After awhile the already prepared stuff starts to taste disgusting. Home cooked food has much better flavors. We even got to the point that some restaurant food tastes bad! I don't miss the convenience at all anymore.
