Give Thanks and Go Organic Every year, we eat green bean casserole at Thanksgiving. I love it, and I usually get seconds. I recently read that green beans are on the top 10 list of produce items to purchase organic.

I love Rodney but this workout is just okay. Did I mention I love Rodney Yee? I do. His voice is calming, his temperment is patient, and he just looks so cute in those spandex shorts he always wears.
