So I started this blog almost a year ago, thought about it from time to time but never came back to it... Until now. I just felt a little discouraged; how to get people to read it, and all that. Plus I found a few hendrences: I returned to work after maternity leave and lost all sense of "free" time, I also found blogging quite difficult without home Internet. All I have is my iPhone to communicate with to the cyber world. But,alas, I have returned to my zero readers and followers to continue to share, even if only to myself, my mission of green-ness.
I alluded to organic previously. I have tried, successfully and sometimes not, to at least buy the "dirty dozen" (peaches,apples,bell peppers,spinach, Lettuce, potatoes) (for those of you counting, that doesn't equal 12 but those are the only ones of the 12 I buy). I have found it difficult to find good organic food in my area, especially out of season, so I've had to start switching to frozen fruits and veggies. They are frozen right after being picked so maintain a much higher vitamin content than their canned cousins and even than sone fresh if they're out of season because of the shipping time. I just watch the ingredients to make sure the veggie or fruit on the bag I'd the only one. And because of our financial difficulties I do have to buy generic frequently and they are also good about no added ingredients. I have tried to stop using canned foods in general but am having a hard time saying goodbye to canned tomatoes, so to lessen my guilt I spend the extra and buy the organic ones. This summer I plan to have a garden then I will can my own tomatoes. But it's not quite summer yet, so this will have to do for now.
Well to all my zero readers out there- goodbye for now. And I'll try not to be quite so delinquent in the future.
