Recipe to share

Have you heard of Bountiful Baskets?  It is a fruit & veggie co-op that I have been participating in for a couple of years now.  It is a great way to get fresh fruits and veggies for an insanely good price - especially in the wintertime.  It is not in every state, but quite a few from east to west.  Even if you don't have Bountiful Baskets, there may be other opportunities for co-ops in your area.  Once in a while I get a large amount of a particular fruit or vegetable, so I have to go looking for recipes so I can use it up.  Thank goodness for Allrecipes.com!  I love their ingredients search. 

I thought I'd share a very simple and tasty recipe that I discovered this past weekend.  It was a family pleaser!  Even my if-it's-healthy-it-will-kill-me husband liked it.;-)
