Patti,
You mean, your family comes over when you have no chips, salsa, Pepsi,
beer, cookies, etc. in the house? Sheeze...If someone's coming here, I
have to scramble to the grocery store (20 mile drive) to find something
other than frozen meat, kale, collards etc., which I keep around all the
time. (I could just imagine the look on their faces if I offered them
deer heart jerky and a kohlrabi!) Actually, no one bothers coming any
more (which is okay with me, because I'm not big on entertaining anyway
:-)

I used to take food, when I was vegan. My family loved it; my inlaws
were afraid of it but finally succumbed. Once they were all hooked, I
got sick, went paleo and only take and eat my own now. Sound familiar?
Glad to hear your family will actually come knowing it's paleo. Mine
would, but only if it was spicy or loaded with butter--sorry guys!
Gimme seconds too,
Lois
