Broccoli Cheese Soup – Part 2

As suspected, we arrived home around 7:20. I was thrilled to have both my husband and the broccoli cheese soup waiting for us. I was actually much more thrilled that my husband was here waiting because I really missed him today…but still, I was very grateful that dinner was almost…

Broccoli Cheese Soup – part 1

This week, our schedule includes a bit more running here and there due to an extra science lab that my daughter will be taking part in.  So, Wednesday’s meal prep begins today.  While cleaning and chopping our veggies for produce prep Tuesday, I also did the beginning steps of this…

The Boxes are Here!

This morning, around 4:20 am, we received a special delivery on our porch. The boxes were here! Here is what was inside: For all of you list makers (like me :)), here is the list: 2 Valencia Oranges, 4 Jonagold Apples, 3 Fuji Apples, 1.5lb Autumn Royal Grapes, 5 Black…

Too Many Plums!

Have you ever had too many of something just hanging around in your kitchen? In my case, right now, it is plums. This is another item that comes each week and while we really do like them, we just haven’t been able to keep up. So, they just hang out…

Zucchini Bread – Kicked up a Nutritional Notch

I did some research this morning and came up with this recipe which is a compilation of about 5 of the different recipes I found. I combined the idea of filling the loaves with produce, with using whole wheat flour and then adding a little sweetness with the chocolate chips….

A Plan Almost Foiled

As last night came to a close, and I had a rare night of tossing and turning in bed, I was reminded how busy today would be.  I would be up at 5:45 am to spend time with my husband reading the Bible and praying before he left for work,…

Farm Fresh Family – It is Produce Prep Day!

Our weekly boxes from Farm Fresh to You arrived this morning.  Today I ordered the Fast Fruit & Veg LA Regular Box and the Veggies Only LA Regular Box.  My hope is to have very little supplementing I need to do from the store. Time to unpack the boxes and…
