Note: This Blog post is not trying to drum up business for AHO. This is just a record of what a person who decided to sign up for a produce box, is doing with it. Trying to figure out if it is worth the money and if her and her family are eating healthier than they were before. That said...
It's been 2 more weeks and my third box has arrived. It is always an exciting time, because I really don't know what is coming. You can read about why I signed up for this, HERE.
This order was different, in that it is the end of the summer growing season and I thought I would take advantage of tomatoes (I got a 4 lb box at 1.65 a lb), in order to make sauce) I also got oranges (10 lbs for 58 cents a lb). We thought it might be worth it, to add on these things this week. We shall see.
So, what came in this box?
2 Green Bell Peppers
Cardoon (I have no idea what this is. Actually they say it is related to the globe artichoke plant)
Yellow Cherry Tomatoes (small jewel box)
Chives (a fresh bunch)
1 Cucumber
4 Granny Smith Apples
Grapes (Autumn Royal)
Lettuce (Red Leaf, as usual)
Summer Savory (a bunch)
3 small Sweet Potatoes
4 Tomatoes
2 Yellow Onion
So far, I was thinking of a recipe to use some of the grapes. I saw a chicken thighs with grapes recipe and my Husband approves of the idea. I will let you know if it gets made.
There are several recipes for cooking the cardoon. I guess we will be doing that.
My next box will be coming on 9/26, the start of the fall.
