People take a bite out of fruit and vegetables without considering what (or who) was on this before it went into their mouths. To remove pesticide residue from conventionally grown apples, mix one teaspoon of baking soda in two cups of water, submerge the apples in a bowl with a cover for two minutes, then rinse. Even better: Just buy organic. While the bins in a supermarket expose fruit to sneezes, touching and a multitude of contaminants, chances are organics are less handled.

DI PESCARA 2124 Northbrook Court NORTHBROOK, IL 847-498-4321. After some shopping in the mall, I headed over here for lunch. It’s a full service restaurant located on the second fl oor of the mall. You can stop in for a cocktail, lunch or dinner. They offer fresh seafood selections along with sandwiches, pasta dishes, steaks and more. The server told us about the Supper Club Menu, which was a great value. You get a choice of a glass of wine or non-alcoholic beverage, choice of soup or salad, entrée and dessert. THE HEN HOUSE 1060 College Ave. WHEATON, IL 630-480-0611. This is a cozy breakfast spot in Wheaton with tasteful décor and a fi replace to warm you up on cold mornings. I had Filet Mignon and 2 eggs with a side of cubed potatoes and pancakes. The fi let medallions were cooked to perfection and cut like butter. The eggs and potatoes were just right, and the pancakes were served with warm syrup. They also serve lunch and a variety of specialty coffee drinks. LOU MALNATI’S PIZZERIA 6649 Lincoln Ave. LINCOLNWOOD, IL 847- 673-0860. I can’t even count how many times I’ve eaten or picked up from here. Their pizza is the best! I recently dined here with a group of friends and we stuffed ourselves with the Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza with sausage. My favorite part of the pizza is the crust. It’s a buttecrust and I never leave a bite behind. The thin crust pizza is really good too, and you also can’t go wrong with their delicious Malnati’s Salad. I’ve tried so many combinations and have loved each and every one of them. MAPLEBERRY PANCAKE HOUSE 1276 Kuhn Rd, Carol Stream, IL 630- 668-4477 This is a great place to enjoy breakfast or lunch with family and friends. I had the 2 by 3, which is three potato pancakes, three fresh eggs and two bacon slices, with applesauce and sour cream. They kept the coffee and the great service coming. Get there early on Saturdays and Sundays or expect to wait to be seated. MR. BROAST 820 E. Roosevelt Rd. LOMBARD, IL 630-889-1188. Home of the “Zinger Burger” and that’s what I tried. It was a fried chicken breast topped with seasoned cabbage, and spicy Zinger sauce served on a soft bun. The chicken was moist, the sauce was tasty and the portion size was huge. For my side, I ordered some fried mushrooms. On the menu they also have salads, wraps, beef burgers, rice bowls and broasted chicken. PETE’S RED HOT’S 6346 Roosevelt Rd. OAK PARK, IL 708-383-6122. This fast food place was extremely busy when I stopped in, and every table was taken. The line moved quickly and the staff was on it. I ordered a Vienna Hot Dog with the works, mustard, onion, relish, tomato, a slice of pickle and sport peppers. Plus, I ordered a gyros sandwich with the works, onion, tomato and sauce. It was a big sandwich, piled high with gyros meat, and oh-so good. The fries were served hot and everything was fresh. OLD FASHIONED CANDIES 6210 Cermak Rd BERWYN, IL. 708-788- 6669. This is a cute, old-school candy shop with a big selection of vintage candy favorites. On the counter, they had all sorts of bulk candy in jars, sold by the pound as well as a case with chocolates sold by the pound. They had popcorn and so much more. I picked up a decorated pretzel, some licorice bites and a red licorice candy pipe.
