Food again!

Co-op Pickup Day!!!
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb Pacific cod fillets
2 lb. chicken thighs
4 (5 oz) pork chops
3 peaches
4 pears
4 apples
2 tomatoes
1 head romaine lettuce
5 lbs potatoes
1 bunch of radishes
1 lb brown rice
Whole wheat bread
2 sourdough bread
4 lbs cooked chicken nuggets
2 loaves sourdough bread

Total: $33.50


The picture above is after we took all the meat and 2 of the bread loaves to the freezer and the children and I ate all the peaches and one pear (and a radish, but that didn't go over quite as well). Still, looks pretty, doesn't it?

In October, there will be sirloin beef tips, bacon, locally made blackberry jam, German rye bread and Colosimo's Italian sausage. The fruits and veggies aren't announced until the week before you pick up, but I bet there will be squash!

Again, it's the Utah Food Co-op--what a great way to eat healthier, support your community and help others!

P.S. Don't live in Northern Utah? Don't worry--there are probably co-ops where you live, too! Check out: http://www.coopdirectory.org/directory.htm

Food, Glorious Food!

Pretty much the coolest thing lately is
the Utah Food Co-op

Last month we got 1 lb ground beef, 2 lbs chicken breasts, 1 lb beef fajita strips, 1 lb lean pork, cubed, 3 kinds of fresh fruit, 5 kinds of fresh veggies, a loaf of whole wheat bread, 1 lb of pinto beans and a lb of nutty granola

for

$25.25

Ya, no joke. The fruit included a cantelope and grapes (and maybe apples?). The veggies included avocados, carrots and eggplant. We don't actually like eggplant, we learned. But we tried it!

We ordered this month, too. I'll post a picture when we pick it up.

Foods We Like

I am a picky eater. Some of my children have gone or are going through stages of pickiness. I once made a list of Foods We Like (ie foods everyone in the house likes). I think there were 10 things on it. But I have discovered some general rules to the madness.

1. We like things that smell good. Bacon, fresh fruit, fresh bread, granilla.
2. We like things that are a good texture. Things that are boiled or canned often suffer because of this. The kids like pasta anyway. I do not. Frozen veggies are better than canned.
   
3. We like food on a stick. Why? We don't know. Corndogs, kebabs, hor d'ourves. It's just fun to eat.
   
4. We like food inside other food. Ice cream sandwiches, Pigs in a blanket, Chicken Cordon Bleu. Sometimes it makes otherwise unpalatable food better. Chicken rolls are a good example. Ravioli is the exception. See #2.
