Bountiful Baskets

In case you haven't heard of Bountiful Baskets, and you live in any of the Western states, you need to check out www.bountifulbaskets.org, become a member and on Monday of each week you can order a basket online which you pick up on Saturdays.  You can order one for each Saturday, or any Saturday of your choosing (if you don't want one every week).   Each week is a surprise as you don't know what you are getting.  There are also extras you can order such as delicious 9 grain bread or extra fruit and vegetables.

The baskets are picked up from a location where you may live, you can also volunteer to help with the organization of the baskets prior to the pickup time.  The produce is inexpensive and some of the best I have ever had.  It is nice to be able to get things that aren't always in season where you live.  The only item I have received consistently in baskets I have purchased is romaine lettuce.  This week there were apples, blackberries, artichokes, mangoes, cantaloupe, pineapple, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn on the cob ...

Sorry .. this cute little boy can't be purchased ...

This is one of my favorite things ... and if you aren't able to eat that much produce a week, I would suggest you find someone to split your purchase with, as there is always enough.  It gives me something to look forward to on Saturday morning ... other than the fact I don't have to go to work.
