small miracles and bountiful baskets.

I love Bountiful Baskets, (a local produce co-op!) but I don't order them very often because I never end up using all of the fruits and veggies, a lot of times because I don't know how to cook them correctly, or because I am just too busy to prepare food, and there are only two of us, etc. I decided to order one last week and I was supposed to go pick it up at 7:30 on the dot Saturday morning. I always wake up before that but I was paranoid about setting my alarm because you only have 20 minutes to get your basket before they donate it! Very small window. I was also just too excited to see what we'd get. So I set two alarms on my phone and put it right by my head when I went to sleep. I woke up Saturday morning and realized it was light but my alarm had not gone off. I reached around for my phone and couldn't find it! I was freaking out. I got up and looked for it and low and behold- on the floor in three pieces, the battery was on the other side of the room! I was thinking "nonononono!" I ran to find out what time it was and hallelujah, I had woken up at exactly ten minutes til I needed to be there. I got in the car and started thinking about the little miracles that I see in my life every day. I am so grateful to the Lord for little blessings like those. I got my basket and now I am as of this moment savoring a juicy juicy peach! here is a list of what we got:

Apples
Bananas
Nectarines
Peaches
Pears
Onions
Artichokes
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Romaine Lettuce
Spinach
Tomatoes
and a bunch of different Peppers




ABUNDANCE!



Also, we are kittysitting and it turns out that Margot LOVES lettuce.

This time I am determined to eat all of this, and hopefully reap health benefits from so many fruits and veggies, save money since I won't need to buy much else this week on groceries, and also learn how to cook a few new things! I need ideas, so if you have any suggestions or recipes please share!

Love the idea of this pear pistachio tartlet.

Happy Monday!
