Enjoy your autumn fruit with these 10 tasty apple recipes!

This season get your apple on with these delicious new ways to enjoy apples!

Crunch, crunch. Munch, munch. I love the crisp, crunchy sounds and sweet flavour of autumn's signature fruit, the apple. But sometimes if I have had too much of it, I get bored of apples and they lose their appeal. This is exactly what I don't want to have happen! Apples are excellent for your health!

Apples fall in the lower end of the glycemic index, containing a high volume of water and fibre. What does that mean? It means that you would have to eat a lot of apples before you significantly raised your blood sugar levels. Apples can help you add nutrition to your meals and keep you full longer!

So how can we keep this nutritious autumn delight in our diet without getting bored of it? Shape Magazine shared fresh ideas and tasty recipes in their slideshow: 10 New (Delicious!) Ways to Eat Apples.

Enjoy your apples!

Not sure what fruits and veggies warrant spending those extra dollars when it comes to organic? Read on...

To some, organic fruits and vegetables present a bit of a question mark; when should one purchase organic produce? Only when purchasing fruit? Only when buying vegetables? Or 100% of the time? From what I’ve read, it appears that, ideally, the answer would be 100% of the time. However, the higher prices on organic products does not make going organic the most economical choice. So, the question remains: when to go organic?

Fortunately, doctoroz.com offers three simple rules to follow when choosing your produce. Here are three things the article suggests you buy organic:

1. Fruits and veggies that have thin skins
   Examples: strawberries, apples and potatoes
2. Leafy greens
   Examples: all lettuces, including spinach and kale
3. Milk products
   Examples: milk, yogurt and cheese

For the full explanation of what produce to buy organic read When to Go Organic.
