Summer Food Safety

Members Were Sparked

We enjoy many picnics over the summer. When I have to prepare and serve a lot of salads or cold foods outside, I have my husband fill two to three kids wading pools with ice. The salad bowls sit in the ice safely cooled and afterwards the kids can play in very cold water.

Freezing Baby Food

Whether you're making your own baby food or trying to figure out what to do with the remaining food in the jar you just opened, get shallow specialty-shaped silicon ice cube trays to freeze the baby food. Silicon makes it easier to get the food out of the tray & you don't have to worry about BPA.

MORE INFORMATION:
You also end up with lots of fun shaped ice trays for summer drinks when you're done with freezing baby food.

No More Triclosan for Me

A quick web search can find why Triclosan is being reevaluated for safety & as one who is sick and tired of being sick and tired, I think now is a good time to abstain.

I have also been trained in matters of food safety & I know what a very little Salmonella bacteria can do. I regrettably admit to having become a germaphobe on account of my training.

What to do? I have a lovely bottle of non-antibacterial soap, a towel that gets washed often & foaming hand sanitizer that's Triclosan-free.

MORE INFORMATION:
A person can buy soaps made naturally antibacterial, usually made with tea tree oil, etc, but they are so expensive, I had to find an affordable alternative.
