Remember that from Saturday Night Live? Well, husband and I in our attempt to eat more organic
fruits and vegetables signed up for an organic produce delivery service called
Farm Fresh to You. We have received 2 deliveries so far (we space them out for a delivery once every two weeks), and have been really pleased with the price, the quality and convenience. We like that the vegetables are all locally grown and within the proper growing season, that we are supporting local farmers, and that you can size and adjust the delivery to your own needs. And, if you hate certain veggies or fruits, you can ban them from your shipment. Lastly, the price for a small box (which is enough for two people) can turn out to be less than what we would have paid for the same thing at Whole Foods, or some other fancy store selling organic local produce (that is, of course, depending on what the box contains).
Our last shipment included three heads of broccoli. And lo and behold, shortly thereafter, Smitten Kitchen posted a recipe for fresh
broccoli slaw. Turns out that she pregnant, too, and craves certain things. I crave texture in my food and CRUNCH. So I followed her recipe, except that instead of dried cranberries, I used dried cherries because that is what I had on hand.
DEEEELICIOUS! I hate overly mayonnaise-y, heavy
slaws, but this dressing is light, mostly because of the buttermilk, and creamy with the right amount of tang.
We paired with the most luxurious steak sandwiches ever, since the steak was a leftover porterhouse steak from
Harris' steakhouse, and ate it all up.
Perfecto!
