The Lord has blessed us so much to make our food budget stretch. This week the semester ended and lots of single students go home for the 7-week summer break. One of my classmates and her roommates all donated the food they couldn't take home TO US! It is not all food that I would have bought for myself, but it sure is GREAT for thinking of new ways to use it. Our freezer and pantry have never been so full!!
We also participate in a co-op called Bountiful Baskets and get great produce for only $16.50. This morning we picked up our basket. We don't get to pick what we get, but it is what's in season and grown close by. It included:
2 heads of cauliflower
6 ears of corn
2 large tomatoes
2 English cucumbers
5 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes
bunch of what looks like romaine lettuce
bunch of bananas
7 plums
7 peaches
1 pineapple
bunch of green grapes
a small watermelon
AND we still have a few Brussels sprouts and white asparagus from last week!
