Lunch...


Our Azure order came yesterday! Apples (40 lbs), pears (22 lbs), onions (50 lbs), carrots (50 lbs), avocados (70 count), and peanut butter (15 lbs)! For our family this is a time saver. My grocery cart is simple during the week; lettuce, bananas, spinach, hamburger, and a few other things. When Azure comes we feast for about a month on some tasty fruits and veggies, cheeses and more.
Today, lunch is partly Azure; half of an apple (looks like more than half, doesn't it?), peanut butter with only salt added bought in a 15 pound pail (no hydrogenated stuff or sugar and tastes just as good, according to my kids), avocados (only 2 kids don't like them and I got 70 of them for almost 1/2 the price of the grocery store and anytime I said Isaac was eating avocados to a doctor they "oohed" a little so you know they are good because they didn't get excited about much), home made bread made partly with home ground wheat with egg salad made with a bit of mayo mixed with home made yogurt and a bit of chopped onion for those who liked. I may have wrote the trick about yogurt that I learned from Karma before. It makes the mayo go a bit further and the kids can't taste the difference. I can't taste the difference and that's a big deal.
One meal down and many more to go :) I have supper figured out though: Chicken and rice soup made with home made chicken stock, left-over rice, left-over chicken, some of the carrots we just got with soaked grain bread where I soaked the wheat 24 hours in yogurt. I hope it turns out. I'm about to go work on it.
Check out Azure for a delivery site near you. The apples and pears last us all month. The pears were $19 for 22 pounds. The Brae burn apples were $18.80 for 20 pounds and Fuji apples were $19.60 for 20 pounds. As you can see it is much cheaper than the grocery stores prices when they are on sale.
