I did a good job today in sticking with this week’s green challenge. Not only did I not throw away any food waste, but I also ate a meal that was mostly organic. This week’s green task is to eat organically and also to keep track of any food that I throw away. I did pretty darn well on both counts today.
First, let me tell you about my awesome meal today. I cooked us up some fresh walleye caught straight from Minnesota lakes. I cooked it in some Smart Balance Omega (good for the ticker and cholesterol) buttery spread along with some organic garlic and a bit of cayenne for some POW. We also had some green beans from the can and these were NOT organic. Hopefully, we will have some garden canned green beans next year, but it was not in the cards for tonight. Overall, tonight, we ate a fairly organic meal. I was going to take a picture, but we ate it too quick. J
As far as throwing food or any food waste away today? Nope… did not do it. Yay!
Let me know some of the organic food you eat in the comment areas below. Also, don’t forget to sign up to win a NatureMill composter at the link shown to the right.
well done on the lack of food waste this week. Green beans are easy to grow and freeze really well; so I reckon you’ll be eating home grown organic by the summertime
I guess we eat about 70-80% organic; the thing I feel worst about is that I don’t tend to buy organic meat for DD – it’s just so expensive. I do the next best thing and buy local, but I do worry about it and how the hormones and goodness knows what else might effect her over time :/
She LOVES fish too; any type of fish, but over here we can only get organic salmon and that seems to come with its own set of problems.
ho hum; we never said it would be easy did we
I would love to buy mostly organic food, but sometimes it can be expensive Do you have any tips on saving on organic items or what to look for?
Mrs Green. I completely understand on the expense part and I cannot afford to buy everything organic. In fact, even if I can… sometimes the fruit and veggies don’t look very good.
Jenna, we do not buy MOSTLY organic food, but I think I do go out of my way to check out that section. Yes, generally it is more expensive, but there are some things a person can do to minimize cost. A. Grow it yourself. B. Make sure to use it all and minimize food waste when you do buy organic.
During the summer, buy from the Farmer’s Market. Much of this may not be organic, but I feel more confident in that food. It is not corporate and I think generally the food is better.
