Each week is a surprise. You are never sure what beautiful goodies will come in your share. They get the freshest in season produce they can. I love this surprise element. It kind of forces me to be a bit more creative in the kitchen...and y'all know how much I hate that...NOT. I have noticed with three of the co-ops I have been involved with, there seems to be a lot of fruit. For me personally, this is the only down side. I eat a lots of veggies and not so much fruit. I am still a little hard pressed to use all of the fruit before it goes bad. But for most households, this would not be an issue. So take a look at all of the organic produce only $26.00 gets you. Below is a picture of this week's box contents. That is a lot of organic produce for that price!!!
My goal is to find healthy, creative and hopefully cool ways (it's going to be 112 here today). I'll be posting as I go this week. I got a very good start by making this simple breakfast parfait. I used some of those beautiful organic strawberries. I diced them into bite sized pieces. In a mini trifle dish, I layered strawberries, vanilla soy yogurt and Nature's Path Hemp Plus Granola cereal. Try this easy and cool dish for a quick summer breakfast.
I have loved the idea of baskets too, I just can't get through that much produce ever in my single household. This place makes it sound doable now. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to be part of a CSA but was never really available for pick up times. I'm also really bad about using veg up in time too. The parfait looks great, I wanted something like that yesterday but my yogurt went bad!
ReplyDeleteParfaits aren't just for breakfast anymore, makes a yummy dessert too!
ReplyDeleteIt can be challenging to get through all of the produce. I'm going to be making lots of yumminess with this week's take. I see some green juice in my immediate future.
