sweet snacking

Most of the summer I have been craving fruit (especially the berry kind!)
Finding this honeydew melon in my weekly local produce order, I decided to dig right in.
I will tell you that eating a melon within 24 hours after it is picked can't get any better.
This delight tasted like a sweet melon smoothie.

Alas, I did save some for the rest of the family (although I could have eaten the whole thing standing at the counter.)

Hope you have found some great local food to enjoy this summer,
Denise

Buying local

For quite awhile, 

we have been buying local produce, meat, and other grocery items from 

www.greenbeandelivery.com

in Indiana. 

This company sells local food and natural groceries.

The goal of greenbean delivery Indiana is to make local foods more accessible and convenient.

They source local farms whenever possible.

In the spring, summer, and fall we can buy local produce.

In the winter we can continue buying local with eggs, dairy products, meats, and bread.

Currently we are able to buy organic cara cara and blood oranges from Florida.

They are so sweet and juicy.

I can find nothing in our local store that compares.

The eggs are huge and have the deepest colored yokes.

If a recipe calls for two small or medium eggs, usually one of these eggs will do.

The local farm free-range poultry compares to none in flavor and tenderness.

In fact, I am back to eating poultry because of this meat.

Not only do I feel good about helping out local farmers,

I feel great about having good-for-you-food at home

that is convenient, as well.

Take care,

Denise 

freshest orange around!

This is what I discovered in my Green Bean Delivery crate last Friday:

A beautiful, organic Satsuma Mandarin.

This is as good as an orange gets!

Take care,
Denise
