1. Plans for the weekend?

2. What one website do you go on the most?

Interesting enough, just came back from the grocery store, I don't always spend more for organic but I almost always spend more for quality food and while I'm not a picky eater either, I do like feeding my family good quality food.  For example my son takes his lunch to school everyday and I purchase quality lunch meet without fillers, additives and preservatives from the deli.  It's not organic by any means but it is more healthy for him then prepackaged sodium, preservative filled lunch meat.

Why are you judging fun based on food, that seems an odd way for you to decide if you are having fun or not.

.  This Stanford 2012 study is the largest and most comprehensive meta study done to date.  It does show fairly negligible nutritional differences but significant differences in pesticide residues, and environmental benefits to organic.  Apparently caring abouf the environment is somehow linked to hypochondria???

Nice judgement...why do you limit organic to only fruits and veggies, that's odd.  I can tell you without a reservation that locally grown, and picked organic is way better than than the stuff that is picked before its ripe and processed to sell in a grocery store...but if you haven't ever tried, I can see why you are scared to try something new.  After all, you do have to maintain your  "that organic is something new and ever so bad judgement".

Oh my! Speaking of good food, I just whipped up an awesome rosemary balsamic marinade for the chicken I'm grilling tonight. Balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, evoo, garlic, brown sugar, pepper and lots of rosemary. Cannot wait.

I'm doing a modified SK Chicken and Dumplings for tonight....simmering now.  The post abou the other SK recipe made me want to make them, love them...ever so much better than from a can, but hey...molls and jams can eat chicken and dumplings from a can, we are eating them from scratch!  Yum!

Unless you are prepared to have your children post here, you might want to rethink this...after all it didn't go well when  your dh posted here.

You can get chicken and dumplings in a can?

One of my kdis doesn't eat McD's,  why is that shocking to you?

Why would you be sorry that I feeding my kid healthy food?   The junky brand here is $3, show me something that is healthy and $3 a pound.   Show me an ad or something.  

Personally for most fruits and veggies, i don't see much of a price difference between organic and regular but I don't buy all fruits and veggies organic, it depends on the fruit or veggie.

This is why no one (well except jams) takes you very seriously when you talk about food.
