BPA free cans = Awesome!

When shopping for your beans for my fantastic Almost there Chicken Chili, I would highly recommend looking for Eden Organic. Not only do they include potassium and phosphorus on the nutrition label but their cans are also BPA free! Can't wait to learn more? Check out their website: http://www.edenfoods.com/

Organic vs. not Organic

I have been an advocate of organic fruits, veggies, and meat for quite sometime now. And honestly, it is just be because I have very sensitive taste buds...organic foods taste better to me. They taste good - veggies and fruits are sweeter and fresher and I find meats cook better. Not organic veggies and fruits taste bitter and watery to me. The difference may indeed be that organic foods are simply fresher because the majority of foods have to come from local sources.

However, convincing others has always been a bit of an uphill battle...and I really don't have that motivation to really care what other people choose to eat. Last night however, I had the fantastic opportunity to show my parents that organic really is much more delicious! In a blind taste test...organic cucumbers were the favorite by far vs. not organic cucumbers.

I found this article by Mayo Clinic to be the most helpful. It is food source neutral and has some good information to help sort out the thousands of rumors and confusion about organic vs not organic food:
