Another week, another box. Now that summer is in full swing, I am having a ball with all of the yummy surprises. Planning everything out like this helps ensure nothing is lost in the back of the fridge, but it isn't set in stone. I change it up if the mood strikes!

If you missed the past pickups, you can read about them HERE. This week we received:

Peaches Sustainable
Plums Sustainable
Carrots Sustainable
Arugula Certified Organic
Bell Peppers Sustainable
Hot Peppers Sustainable
Radishes Certified Organic
Basil Certified Organic
Sicilian Eggplant Sustainable
Purple Eggplant Sustainable
Cucumbers Sustainable
Green Beans Sustainable
Scallions Sustainable
Swiss Chard Sustainable
Garlic Sustainable
Tomatoes Sustainable
BONUS!! Extra Peaches!!

Here's the plan:

Plums, Peaches, Radishes, Scallions, Bell Pepper, and Cucumbers- Snacks... we are a very snack-ey people
Carrots- I found Jemma sneaking into the fridge to snack on these... as if we didn't have enough snacks in the house?!
Arugula and Green Beans- They became a yummy veggie-bean-couscous bowl right away!
Hot Peppers- I might throw a few of these in Monday Macaroni, but we will probably be gifting the rest of these to people who enjoy the heat more than the girls
Basil and Tomatoes- Tomato salad with the red onions from last week
Swiss Chard- Macaroni Monday with sauteed onions and
Eggplants- I'm thinking baba ganoush. If there are too many, I'll grill them up.
Garlic- As an ingredient. We have quite a few, so I might roast some up to have on hand.
