this week was my first week doing bountiful baskets- a produce co-op and i'm OBSESSED! I'm about to go make myself a yummy lunch using my goods right now! if you live in utah, idaho,wyoming or az you should definitely do it! (by the way- i think that this the FIRST TIME i've ever spelled definitely right, i CANNOT spell that word. wow. little victory) for $15 we got:
1 stalk of celery
10 bananas
7 tomatoes
18 red potatoes (this IS idaho- and reds are my favorite)
a head of romaine a head of spinach
13 apples
1 pineapple
6 oz of blackberries
1 bag of mini carrots
1 head of swiss chard (any suggestions for this? I've never used it before and don't even know how to cook it or if you cook it :)
and finally, 1 cantaloupe
it filled up an entire laundry basket and i'll need to buy just a few items of produce at the store this week. plus, it was REALLY fun- i love community things like this. i am going to volunteer next week and i'm really excited. PS- if you live in the area they said they are in dire need of site directors. I thought about volunteering for that, but we'll be camping in the bus a lot very soon so i'm sure i'll be gone on some saturdays... but i wish i could do it, it looks so fun/rewarding. if you don't live locally look up a food co-op! i'm sure if SE idaho has it, pretty much everywhere does :)
*thanks to stephanie for telling me about this! i'm hooked :)

Swiss chard is really good just steamed until it's soft with some balsamic vinegar and salt on it.
why thank you rebecca!
Isn't it awesome! I've gotten the Swiss chard a few times and it always went bad in my fridge before I figured out how to cook it. (I'll have to try out Rebecca's recipe, too). But I'm in love with Bountiful Baskets, too. I love the anticipation of finding out what we're going to get each week. And I even like the occasional slightly weird items that we get to sample that we never would have tried otherwise. I'm glad you like it. :)
Hey, I'm glad to hear you like it. We've been thinking about going down with Doug for a couple of weeks. I'm glad to hear it's awesome. Doug got a mexican one with 7 dozen tortias.
Yeah we saw Doug actually which was random (they were sold out in rexburg but had a spot in rigby so we had to go there) yeah the tortillias seem like a really good deal- or the bread!
definitely is the hardest word out of all words to spell.
I just did my first pick-up today and LOVE LOVE LOVED it! I am so excited! We got mangoes! And they are ripe and delicious!
