Going grocery shopping can be a daunting task, especially when you are trying to find the best priced items that are healthy at the same time. Lucky for us, the Environmental Working Group has done some of the work for us. Their new guide, Good Food on a Tight Budget, came out recently and it lists the the top 100 foods according to a balance of “food prices, nutrients, pesticides, environmental pollutants and artificial ingredients.” The guide also offers other benefits, such as recipes and tools for tracking food prices. A great resource when planning your shopping list!

Clarifying beeswax
My brother donated 15 pounds of certified organic beeswax from Hawaii to Honey G’s (thank you thank you!!)! So, we clarified it and now it is ready to go! The process was a lot easier than I had thought. We melted down the blocks of wax, strained it through a t-shirt and strainer into an aluminum pan, and let it dry. Easy as that!
This is what the final product looks like:
Beautiful! 🙂
