We picked it up just this morning. We heard about these Bountiful Baskets and really wanted to try them out! So I searched the Bountiful Baskets website and ordered my own basket (a "contribution" of only $15)! I chose the site I wanted to pick my produce up at and we picked it up on the designated day and time, 9:45 AM today.
We are so excited to use this produce in as simple a form as possible. Most may not know, but I need to lose quite a bit of weight before it is safe for us to get pregnant, so eating healthy fruits and veggies will hopefully get us set on that track more firmly. Drew and I are both enthusiastic about our new discovery!
8 pears
1 package strawberries
1 cantaloupe
1 LARGE bag seedless red grapes
9 bananas
7 "pluots" (plum/apricot hybrid)

YUM! Now maybe you can help us think of what to do with a lot of this...
We also went to the farmers' market last Friday and still have a half-full bag of fresh green beans, 1/4 lb cherries, 2 large zucchini, and our bishop needed to get rid of lots of cabbage, so we have a very VERY large head of cabbage too. We will have some of this gone due to Dello going in on this basket with us... so technically, half of this is hers. But we'll still be left with a lot! Help! We need ideas and I have yet to figure out how to use the new RecipeZaar website, which is now Food.com...
Wish us luck! :)

looks pretty awesome... with the bananas, make banana bread and freeze it, that way you can pull it out whenever, and since it's just the two of you you could cut the loaves into smaller portions so you don't have to defrost it all at once. Rich likes to eat frozen grapes, so you could freeze those as well, i don't know how long they store that way but it is an option. and you can freeze the carrots too. so instead of needing to use it all now, just look into what it would take to freeze it and use it later, some things freeze better than others, but it is an awesome way to store things that you have too much of. I hope you guys are doing awesome, we should talk more haha.
yummy!!
