Poll updated

Thank you all for another wonderful Co-op Wednesday!
Hope everyone is enjoying their produce already. This basket was a heavy one! We have been really busy lately and we had not had time to update the blog poll, so Patti decided to ask our produce guy for his best deals this week. I think we got a log of good stuff (just got to figure out the best recipe for that Kale!)
Send in your recipes if you would like to share what you are doing to maximize the use of your produce, we would love to hear from all of you!

Poll has been updated so feel free to vote for your next basket and we'll try to get as much as we can based on those votes :)

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Cheesy Vegetable Soup

Hi Co-op!

Here is the recipe that I told some of you about. If you still have some of your vegetables from 2 weeks ago, this is the best way to use them. I made this on Monday and it was SO good!

This recipe comes from my dear friend Jen at Little Miss Penny Wenny who has a great blog about all things domestic.

The recipe is very forgiving, for example I used regular mustard instead of dry mustard, chicken stock instead of vegetable stock, one chicken bullion opposed to two. I didn't even bothered with the Parmesan cheese for garnish and this soup was amazing. Great for these rainy days :)

Granola

Hi Co-op!

As you know Gregory's gave us a sample of their granola last week; hope everyone had a chance to try it out.

I wanted to make a post about it for future reference. All bags are 3lbs.

Crunchy Granola: $4.62

Maple Vanilla Granola: $4.93

Almond Nut Granola: $4.93

Fruit & Nut Granola: $4.93



All the prices include tax and the price is pretty good considering that 16oz (1 lb) bags sell at the grocery store for about the same price.

See you all Wednesday!
