I hope all is going well so far in August which is somehow almost half way over!!!!!
I wanted to post about trying to decide which produce to splurge on going Organic or not. I am posting a link to a site that will shoe you a list on 12 (+2 added) fruits and veggies to avoid as far as pesticide go and 15 that are not as important to avoid. I know that it can be spending buying all Organic so this is a good way to start if you are trying to take baby steps!
Check it..... Dirty Dozen/Clean 15
Dirty Dozen
- Apples
- Strawberries
- Grapes
- Celery
- Peaches
- Spinach
- Sweet Bell Peppers
