Norah's Menus and Recipes: July 11th Bountiful Baskets Coop

About my cooking

This is a place for me to track recipes we try. Sometimes we like the recipe, sometimes we do not, and sometimes only one or two members of our family like the recipe. I try to cook from scratch and we try to avoid processed foods. As such some of the recipes I post can sometimes be a little time consuming. I also try to buy and cook with locally grown organic products. I am willing to pay a little more to achieve this goal. If I can't find local organic I buy locally produced foods and then organic foods from elsewhere. I'm a big supporter of the "eat local" idea. I do belong to 2 different CSA's here in Utah, I buy from Crossroads Urban Center's food co-op, and I am a frequent shopper at local farmer's markets.

Here is how to order from Bountiful Baskets:
Right now there is nothing offered so the page is blank. However on July 21st there will a place to order for those in Utah. Click here for the page.

Here is what came in today's basket which cost $16.50
2 heads broccoli
1 1/2 pounds rainer cherries
8 bananas
4 white onions
6 nectarines
14 plums
5 pound bag potatoes
1 cantaloupe
1 pound carrots
1 head iceburg lettuce
6 apricots
5 tomatoes

I also bought a 15 pound box of Rainer cherries for $19. These are my favorite type of cherry. They are so sweet and delicious. These sell for $4.99 a pound in the store so its a killer deal. I'll keep some to eat but I think I'll can some for the winter.

Here are a few ways to use the items picked up today:
Broccoli cheese soup
Banana Cream Pie
Hasselback Potatoes
Bacon Cheeseburger Salad
