Do you love eating healthy and organic, but find it costs too much?
There are plenty of ways to
eat healthy and save money. Check out a whole list on my website
here.
Apples are very high in pesticides, so instead of buying regular apples, buy organic now, as they are inexpensive in season, and buy a lot! Make apple sauce and apple crisp, recipe below!
Environmental Working Group or
EWG is an amazing organization that are lobbying to help get rid of unwanted dangerous chemicals in our food, homes and skin care products. They came up with
the Dirty Dozen.
The 12 fruits and vegetables highest in pesticides:
• Celery
• Peaches
• Strawberries
•
Apples

When in season, I stock up, huge amounts of organic strawberries and wild blueberries that I freeze and make into jam (with very little sugar of
course!)
Apples keep a long time!
