Use Springpad for Weekly Meal Planning

How to remember which organic vegetables to buy
EatingWell’s article on safe non-organic produce was yet another reminder for me on the dangers of pesticides in food. When I am in the produce section at the grocery store, I am always enticed by the organic aisle–but buying solely organic would quickly push me over my monthly grocery budget. I’m always forgetting which produce items I really should be buying organic as well. A great health and environment resource, The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has compiled a list of fruits and vegetables that are least likely to be effected by pesticides, and therefore safe to buy non-organic.

I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was great – and delicious – I know mine was! Even though December doesn’t start until Tuesday, but more of the week’s in December than it is November!

Weekly meal plan – last week in November
Because Thanksgiving’s on Thursday I’m trying recipes the rest of the week that have nothing to do with the holidays… until after Thursday, when we’ll be living off of leftovers for ages. I’m excited to try a couple new recipes, and I do love this holiday!
