Since for many, the new year marks the time when we attempt to overhaul our lifestyle and vow to live a healthier, more fulfilling life, I wanted to share a nifty little recipe that will help aid those attempts.
This is a simple, inexpensive, non-toxic recipe I found for a produce disinfecting spray to get rid of all the nasty pesticides and chemicals that coat non-organic fresh produce. So if your wallet doesn't have enough room for organic goodies or if organic just isn't your thing, at least this way your fruits and veggies are a bit less hazardous.
The vinegar in this spray has natural anti-bacterial properties, while the lemon juice is a natural astringent. The solution works to both breakdown and clean off pesticides.
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tbsp baking soda
1/2 of a lemon
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a large container. Transfer to a spray bottle with a pump. Spray mixture on produce and let sit for 5 minutes. Scrub and rinse.

ReplyDeleteAs for a circle cutter, I know.. I ALMOST bought one, but decided against it. I don't cut circles often enough for it to be worth it!
