It's been a veggie kinda weekend. This week I ordered Bountiful Baskets and since Rodney has been on a whole foods- grains, veggies, etc regimen, I decided to order the basket as well as the tropical add on and the asian add on. Which left us with a kitchen full of fruits and vegetables. This is what I picked up for $45:
Cabbage
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Green Beans
Bell Pepper
Onions
apples
grapefruit
lemons
oranges
limes
Bluberries
2 vanilla beans
coconut
pineapple
kiwi
mint
basil
Bok Choi
Chinese Cabbage
water chestnuts
ginger
garlic
plantain
asparagus
celery
spinach
romaine lettuce
tomatoes
mangoes
eggplant
Five loaves of organic 9 grain bread
What a deal, huh? What a ton of work! I spent saturday blanching vegetables to freeze for stir fry packs. The great thing about this produce is that it comes from small farms and are as local as possible - the bad thing about it is it goes bad really quickly because it lacks industrial pesticides - wait that is also a good thing!
We did find a place for it all to go which is good. I shared some with my future daughter in law and my mom. And we are set for stir fry for a while. Tomorrow I think I will make a tropical smoothie for breakfast ;)
Or you could make us all tropical smoothies and bring them to work with you! I love Bountiful Baskets but man, do we throw out a lot of fruit that we (ok, I) can't eat! I really don't need 15 kiwi fruit a week or 20 oranges.
