Articles like this one, “Organic food is no healthier,” frustrate me. The gist – “Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority.” Ok, maybe organic produce is not “healthier” in terms of actual nutritional content, but what about [...]

Pretty Green Tip: Plastic Bag Rehab
No, I’m not talking about these super cute bags (though, yes, super cute). I’m talking about what to do when somehow, against your wishes, a plastic bag makes its way into your life.

Greener Pastures
Is it just me, or does everyone seem totally stressed out lately?

Whole Savings
I love shopping at Whole Foods, but they don’t call it Whole Paycheck for nothing. While I totally believe that you get what you pay for, and think it’s worth paying more for SOLE foods (sustainable, oganic, local, ethical – just heard that term and I love it!), shopping for these kinds of groceries can [...]

My Perfect Summer Meal
There’s nothing I love more in the summer than panzanella with a nice glass of white wine. I discovered this Italian bread salad a few years ago, and I look forward to the weather getting warm every year so I can enjoy it, preferably near an open window with sun streaming in and a light [...]

What I’m Loving Right Now
Wow, I haven’t posted in awhile! I’ve been away a lot – camping, San Diego (where I saw old friends and new – thanks for meeting for lunch, Hallie!), etc – and have been catching up on life ever since. So sorry if I’ve been MIA – did anyone miss me? To take a page [...]
