Organic Recipes

Below are some delicious recipes to help you in your journey of eating organic. Eating organically grown foods is important for a number of reasons. It is healthier, better for the environment, and supports small-scale farms – just to name a few. Eating organic, however, is more expensive and can be challenging when you are living on a budget. Luckily, living on a budget does not mean you have to compromise your health. I am not a tree hugger by any means, but I do believe in eating healthy and promoting good eating. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect public health and the environment.

So the next time you’re at the grocery store trying to decide whether or not to buy organic, use these lists to decide if it’s worth the price tag.
