ChefBeckyD said:Organic food is just....food. I only feed my family organic non-processed foods, and I use a lot of PC recipes. Unless there are actual food restrictions (Vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc....) than it should be easy enough to find recipes to do.
A good demo recipe is the Mexican Cheese Crisps. or do the Loaded Baked Potato Chowder.

Organic recipes are made with ingredients that have been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Organic ingredients are also non-GMO and are free from artificial additives and preservatives.
While organic ingredients can sometimes be more expensive, there are ways to save money such as buying in bulk or shopping at local farmers markets. Additionally, the health benefits of eating organic may outweigh the cost in the long run.
The focus of these recipes is on using whole, unprocessed ingredients. However, if you are unable to find or afford certain organic ingredients, it is okay to substitute with a processed alternative. Just be mindful of the ingredients and try to choose the healthiest option available.
One way to get your family on board is to involve them in the cooking process. Let them help choose the recipes and assist in the preparation. You can also try incorporating familiar flavors and ingredients in the recipes to make them more appealing.
Yes, many of these recipes are freezer-friendly. You can prepare the recipe and freeze it before cooking, or freeze any leftovers for a quick and healthy meal in the future. Just be sure to properly label and store the meals to maintain their quality.
