Hey there, plant nibblers! No recipe to post today, but I wanted to tell y'all about a great thing happening right this very moment. And YOU can be a part of it!
Do you think you could go a whole month without eating anything processed? A whole month without packaged candies, frozen dinners, bottled salad dressings, sodas or Pop-Tarts? Perhaps you're a locavore rockstar and already do. Or perhaps you can't think of a recent meal that wasn't wholly processed. It doesn't matter where you fit on this spectrum. Because for the month of October, a whole blogging community is pledging to eschew packaged goods in favor of homemade, freshly prepared food. And we want you to join us!
Does all of this food have to be baked/cooked/canned by you? It sure doesn't. In fact, you don't even have to commit to the whole month if you don't think you can. A week, a day, a meal-- challenge yourself to cut out the processed food for the longest amount of time you think you can manage. And then try to push yourself a little further.
Because the less processed food we put in our bodies, the better.
This challenge is the brainchild of Andrew Wilder, of the fabulous blog Eating Rules. For a full list of the October Unprocessed "rules", please click here. And be sure to check Eating Rules regularly for guest posts offering recipes, tips and suggestions to help your October Unprocessed challenge be both effective and delicious.
As for me, I'm busy whipping up some delicious homemade salad dressings, condiments and other things that I normally reach for on supermarket shelves. Recipes will be up on this site very soon, so be sure to check back!
