My New Fave Obsession

I present to you... the co-op!!!

I've been reading about this for a few weeks and finally took the plunge this past week.

I paid $36 ($1.50 convenience charge and $3 for a newbie basket charge) for all of this!! It included $15 for the laundry basket, $10.50 for the box of tropical fruit and $6 for foccacia bread (2 layers of bread).

Here's a closer look:

The first picture included: 2 quarts of strawberries, mangos, oranges, apples, honeydew melon, 2 onions, bag of carrots, 2 stalks of celery, 2 bags of radishes, and pickling cucumbers. The second picture included limes, lemons, pineapple, coconut, mangos, star fruit, mint (in the bag) and 2 vanilla beans.

I see some chicken noodle soup (already cooked), fruit salad, snacks at work and home and some mojitos (with the lime and mint). :-)

This is an awesome deal for all this fruit, veggies and all in one stop!!! I love that it's local, a great way to meet like minded people and a wonderful way to encourage healthy eating. This is great since we don't have much yard space.... this is the perfect solution for us!!

I am totally hooked now!! Jackpot!!!! Enter my new obsession.....

I think this may be a good reason to justify the new FoodSaver I want.... :-)

A New Fave Recipe

It's been SO HOT here lately that we haven't felt like grilling... even though it's summer.

So.... I brought the grill indoors tonight- with Turkey Burgers. Even the hubs loved them!! (I think he was a little surprised at how good they were!)
This may be my new go-to food!!! DEFINATELY going in the food rotation around here!!!

What I loved is that I already had everything I needed, except some buns. I used Cibatta buns and toasted them with cheese in the broiler.

Seasoned Turkey Burgers
SO- GOOD!! And pretty healthy, too.

Throw together with a cool fruit salad and you've got a meal!!!

I promise to start adding more pictures...I just keep forgetting!!!!
