It’s about time for a checkup.

Surely there are some past Monday Missions you could use a review or a redo on. I know there are a number that I’ve been slacking on lately!

This week, sit back and browse the archives, or just take a week off.

For your reading pleasure, here are thirteen of my personal favorite missions:

1. Handwashing and Antibacterial Soap : Wash hands well and rid the house of triclosan. (the first ever Monday Mission!)
2. Eat More Eggs:  A simple challenge to include more of this super food in your week.
3. Use up ALL your Spinach: Ideas to make sure you don’t waste spinach when you buy a fresh bag or box.
4. Condiment Awareness:  Take a small step (or two or three!) to making more healthy condiment choices.
5. Conserve Energy with your Stovetop/Oven:  10 tips to cutting your energy and budget waste while cooking and baking. (Timely for the holiday food frenzy!)
6. Release Your Fear of Fats:  Time to put your thinking caps on and learn a little about how necessary fat is to your body.  This will challenge your “low-fat” mentality.
7. Switch to the Real Thing or Reuse:  7 Choices to decrease disposables on the table, from serving parties with real plates to using cloth napkins.
8. Healthy Upgrades: Make it from Scratch: A challenge to make one boxed thing from scratch.
9. Eat Fewer Grains:  In the midst of such research controversy on the health benefits or dangers of grains, let’s try to eat one grain-less meal each day this week, just to raise our consciousness of how many grains we consume.
10. Sprout Something:  Sprouting increases nutrients in seeds and legumes.  All you need is a colander. (I’ll need to get back in this habit once I have my own counters again…)
11. Find Those MSGs:  There are over 20 names MSG can hide under.  Do you know what’s in your pantry? (I made Leah throw out the last half of her bag of Halloween trick-or-treat Cheetos after I read the MSGs in the ingredients. I can’t believe she didn’t throw a fit!)
12. Know What you Spend, Spend What you Earn: 15 ways to reduce your food spending and cut the budget, while finding money elsewhere to put toward food.
13. Examine Your Milk Source: Where does your milk come from? Where should it come from?
