Hey- here’s my recent Green BEAN Delivery… Got any ideas for some recipes with broccoli (something different)? Or what about peaches and blueberries? I’m thinking shortcakes or a mini cobbler. Maybe muffins…
What ideas/recipes do you have? I’d love to know—leave me a note in the comments. -A.
I try to take Louis to as many dog-friendly places as possible. Saturday we went to the Zionsville Farmers Market (thanks to @DogFriendlyIndy for letting me know that Zionsville Farmers Market is dog-friendly). The Brick Street Fest was also happening so there were lots of people and dogs for Louis to socialize with and he loved it. Here are a handful of links and photos on what’s been happening… Happy midweek (almost) to ya -A. p.s. What's new with you? Leave me a note in the comments.
Congrats to Kristina and family on baby Henry! (p.s. Kristina is from Indy and is living in Germany with her family and writes the blog, Hoosiers at Heart)
I’m a fan of both Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen- so I definitely had to watch The Guilt Trip. It’s a fluff rental…but I’d definitely like to see these two again in another movie.
Sam Simon (co-creator of The Simpons, writer & show runner on Taxi) was diagnosed with terminal cancer five months ago. I loved this interview with him on WTF with Marc Maron. FYI- *This is R-rated* (just a warning)
Grab a slice of apple pie at Locally Grown Gardens.
Yoplait Greek peach frozen yogurt. Good stuff.
I try and keep fresh produce around as much as possible. But- I'm not a fan of multiple trips to the grocery store. I'd heard a lot of good things about Green BEAN Delivery. The produce is local (when possible and available) and organic.
Green BEAN Delivery contacted me to see if I wanted to try a produce bin and to offer readers (hey- you!) a discount. Of course I said, "Yes!"
Green BEAN Delivery is available in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Missouri. You can read more about their story here and their web site is filled with lots of useful info like recipes and food storage tips. You can arrange for weekly or bi-weekly deliveries from Green BEAN Delivery and the minimum order for delivery is $35.00.
It was easy to sign up for my delivery and customer service at Green BEAN Delivery is super helpful and responds right away with any questions. (Believe me- I sent them a few emails with some questions) I was notified by email of my upcoming delivery and an invoice of what type of produce would be delivered. When I arrived home, I found a green bin packed with ice bags and plenty of produce. It was a really good mix of fruits and vegetables and I immediately noticed the high quality of the produce. The small produce bin is $35 and I think it's a great deal for the quality of the produce and that it's local (when possible) and organic.
And- here's a closer look at the produce...
What I especially loved about the delivery is that Green BEAN Delivery sent a nice mix of fruits and vegetables and a few veggies that I don't normally buy, like rainbow chard. I wasn't sure what I was going to make with the chard, but it ended up being a good addition to a soup I made. It was fun to have so many fruits and veggies on hand and deciding what to make for different meals. (Again, no multiple trips to the grocery!). You can also add other grocery items to the bin delivery (for additional costs), like Smoking Goose bacon, milk and all sorts of stuff (very tempting!).
I liked my experience with Green BEAN Delivery so much that I signed up for regular deliveries (small produce bin). I'm going to try out Green BEAN Delivery for a bit and see how it goes. So far I'm a big fan! The regular amount of produce in the fridge has got me cooking more- which is a good thing.
