Alright, here we are at Week 2 of our Bountiful Baskets experiment. One of the many cool things about getting a Bountiful Basket is that you never know what you are going to get, and the only thing you know is that you will have to find some new recipes quick once you find out what's in there! That is the experience I am having this weekend, and here is what I got:
5 lb sack of russet potatoes
about 8 persimmons
more Bartlett pears
fuji apples
Asian pears
cherry tomatoes
bananas
cauliflower
collard greens
green beans
Brussel sprouts
grapes
I also ordered the Italian Pack which included:
fresh basil, rosemary, thyme, and flat leaf parsley
zucchini
eggplant
1 big red onion
2 big yellow onions
garlic
mushrooms
and the 9 grain bread, which was 5 loaves of fresh multi-grain bread with no preservatives and all natural ingredients.
The Italian Pack and the Bread were both add-ons to the standard traditional basket. So this week didnt add up to only 15, it was closer to 32. ($7.50 for the Italian Pack, and $10 for the bread.)
So the challenges this week? Well...you probably already guessed the persimmons, but also the collards, and the brussels sprouts, and possibly the Asian pears. The rest should be alright and pretty easy to consume. I'll be posting my recipes tomorrow, so stay tuned for the adventures!
