Week One: The Grab.

Every week I will get a new bounty. This bounty will include fruits and vegetables... and sometimes extras. I will spend less than $30 on everything.

I will post pictures of the original bounty with a list of everything I received.
Then I will find recipes to use my ingredients and I will bake.
You will see the recipes and a picture of the final product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week I received:
Fruit:
  • 1 pineapple
  • 7 green apples
  • 5 pears
  • 7 bananas
  • 2 pomegranates
  • 1 bag of grapes
Vegetables:
  • 6 yams
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 1 stock of broccoli
  • 1 bunch of lettuce
  • 1 bunch of spinach
  • 5 parsnips
I know what you're thinking... what the heck are you going to make with yams and parsnips?!
Well, I'm not entirely sure what to do with the yams (probably just make them candied) but the parsnips will be made into a spicy parsnip soup this afternoon/evening. Along with the soup I will be making an apple crisp and a pear&pomegranate dessert.

That leaves the tomatoes, yams, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, grapes, pineapple, and bananas.

Stay posted!

  2. Curtis and I like to bake the yams and just top them with butter, salt and pepper... SOOO GOOD! We do it for lunch all the time. You can also nuke them if you are short on time.
