Why should you care about pesticides?

Eating healthy is all about fruits and vegetables as we know.  CLICK HERE    to go to a site with a printable guide to use when you are at the market.  Times are tough and all of us need to watch our pennies.  Not all veggies have to be organic (it usually costs more to have the same fruit ot vegetable with out the pesticide, although I never understood why buying something with less cost more?  I am sure it has to do with subsidized farmers...another discussion for later.)  Use the guide when you are at the store.  

     Strawberries are coming into season (check out South Coast Farms for the best, yummy and organic ones!) they are my number one to always buy organic.  There are over seven types of pesticides used on these yummy fruits, topical and systemic.  Carrots, apples, lettuce (anything green leafy), cherries, grapes, stone fruits, heck I do try and buy everything organic.  Just use the guide to make you choice if you want to buy the non organic ones.  Happy shopping!

PMP...Pink Monster Party

Malia turned ONE! We had a great Pink Monster Party here at Gramy's house. She came all dressed in pink with a special shirt made by the monster's mommy, Mrs. Jones. Monster Pita sandwhiches, Monster Punch, you get the idea! It was a beautiful sunny California day but a bit chilly. On with the sweaters and we were outside in Gramy's yard!
