Two weeks ago we took a leap of faith.

We leapt into delivery of produce.  This is not a CSA (community supported agriculture).  This is not crap food.

So what is this you may ask……It is an amazing company that has a great idea!  There is a ton of produce that isn’t “pretty” enough to make it to a grocery store.  I can tell you that How pretty it is does not mean that it tastes any better.  What it means is that they can charge you more for it.

I will be writing a reivew of our produce box for the second week and was able to price compare between our local Safeway (Albertson’s) and our local Whole Food’s.  Trust me….You will want to see this!

Ok You can keep reading now…………Please

It may not be pretty to look at…but it is amazing

If you are someone who doesn’t need beautiful produce…..This is an amazing company!  Working to eliminate food waste.  Working to get fresh produce to everyone and anyone who wants it.  There are Conventional and Organic  options.  All veggie, all fruit and mixed boxes.  You can customize your box if you remember in time (they do send reminders), which is great.  It allows you to see what is available and you can try something new (we did with blood oranges…OMG so yummy) and it allows you to meal plan for the upcoming week.

Well Hello Kale!  I love adding fresh kale into our power protein smoothies in the morning and it is such a great addition to a salad.  I have to cut it up small so that the 3 yo   doesn’t see it all the time but hey, she eats it!

Update: This kale has now been in our veggie drawer for two weeks now!  It is just as amazing and fresh as the day we received it!

Now I totally understand that a lot of people do not like Brussel sprouts and I understand that.  I was not the biggest fan in the beginning but what I realized is that it was how they were being prepared.  As a kid I was stuck eating mushy brussel sprouts.  YUCKY!!!!  I mean this is why most people don’t like them.

I come to find out that this is how my mother always thought they were supposed to be cooked because that is how my grandmother would always make them.  My mom later realized that while they are not  her favorite veggie they are not as bad as she thought…….When I make them!  Hahahahhaha

During the winter I love to halve them and roast them with some olive oil, sea salt and pepper then drizzle with a balsamic glaze and toss them with dried cranberries and homemade candied pecans!  Yum, Yum!  There are great ideas out there….What is your favorite??????

I also LOVE to just throw them in the oven with Ghee/butter/ coconut oil etc with a little bit of Himalayan salt and fresh ground pepper.  Sometimes I throw in some white wine to keep things moist in the oven.  I really just like to keep it simple and clean.

OMG!!!!!!!  Some of my favorite things are in that photo above!  Did you know that I never tried a blood orange?  I was honestly kind of scared of them….Why…..well blood is in the name and that was really about it.  But WOW!!!!  These were so amazing.  They didn’t last very long in our house!

Lemons are gone!  I mostly use them in my water and then after squeezing them in my water I toss the rind in my disposal!  This allows me to disinfect and de-stink the disposal!

So this is our Organic Produce box from week one with Imperfect Produce.  Couldn’t be happier with our choice!  You can watch the unboxing with me on the Resetbutton FB page!  Come check us out!
