Delivery #1

 First delivery was a success!  It has been less than a week and we have eaten most of the fruit and veggies.  The highlight by far was the Red Chard.  I never would have tried this on my own and was even dreading it a little, but we will definitely make it again! 

I made a variation of the recipe below.   Mostly I just skipped the pinto beans and lime juice (didn’t have any) and salt since the red chard tasted almost salty on its own.

On Saturday, I got nervous that I hadn’t used up any veggies so I cooked all of these with onions, chicken, whole wheat rice, a little wine and butter.  It made a ton and will be perfect for dinner when Dave is out of town this week.

Freezer Cooking 101

Hi there!  Thought of you guys when I came across this link for cooking for the freezer.  I just checked out some of the freezer recipes and I didn't really see anything that I'd want to cook, but thought maybe you guys might find something or benefit from the planning tips (I don't plan).

I signed up for a small produce box to be delivered to my door every other Tuesday!  I am so excited!  You view your box the weekend before and make changes.  All I changed this week was adding an extra apple instead of a lemon.  I am going to try not to change much so we can try different fruits and veggies we normally wouldn’t purchase.  I will post a picture of the box once it arrives this week. 

Here is what will be coming:

5 Pink Lady Apples, Asparagus, Broccolette, Greens (Red Chard), Lettuce (Boston Bib), 10oz White Button Mushrooms, 4 Navel Oranges, 16oz Strawberries, and a pint of Grape Tomatoes
