Bountiful Baskets... Organic

For a few years now, we've contributed to boutifulbaskets.org. Each Monday morning, I log on and decide what we'd like to pick up on Saturday. It's delightful! A basket-full of fruits & veggies, cases of fruit, bread, or other goodies. There's even an option for an all organic box. I change our contribution around all the time, because I can't afford to do it all nor do we have the ability to eat all that food each week! This week, I opted for the organic box.

It never fails. When I order the conventional basket, I look longingly at the organics when I pick up. When I order organic, they get something nifty in the conventional.... So, this week, I grabbed my organic and ran. I didn't even peek at the conventionals. And I certainly didn't volunteer and have to handle all that awesomeness! I need to be content with what I'm bringing home!

Today's Box:
Watermelon, carrots, onions, avocados, peppers, bananas, grapes, 
cilantro, green leaf lettuce, plums, and a bag of apples.

As always, my littles are beside themselves when I get home. It's always a surprise and someone is always very happy with what's in the tub! Today's big winner was George. He's been anxiously awaiting the return of apples. He actually kissed me when he saw the apples!
