Or this
Or $50 worth of fruit trays
Or this kind of variety...
I'd be crazy to not think that every trip to see Produce Guy is like Christmas!
I have tried so many new recipes and found some new favorites just because I had the produce on hand. I can confidently say that I make the best green beans, pork and fennel meatballs, and spinach artichoke dip I have ever had. I figured out my ideal cooking method for corn. I also am excited to keep perfecting dishes like fried okra, vegetable patties, and Baba Ganoush. Even though I have been sharing this delicious produce with Wiley Kat, I literally can not fit any more food in my kitchen freezer, my canning cart is double stacked, and my deep freeze is getting full as well.
It can be a lot of work getting all of the produce sorted, cleaned, prepared, etc. But it's worth it. And...wanna know the best part? I have saved $288 on my grocery budget each month for the past 2 months. (If you really think about it, I have saved even more than that because of all the food I have prepared for future use.) Even if you don't count future savings - $288?! That's completely amazing!
I was just in the kitchen making calzones (for the first time...I'll report back this week) and I was looking at all of the ingredients that were free: spinach, tomatoes, peppers, onions, fennel - I mean all that leaves is the dough, cheese, and meat.
Thank you Mavis.

Blows me away.
