Win fabulous Organic Veggies and Fruits

Are you like me and look around at the produce department and wonder how long all those veggies have been there and how many pesticides have been thrown at them?  Fruits and Veggies in the store don’t even look that great – and sometimes you get them home and are really disappointed!

Door to Door Organics is a delivery service that brings a wonderful variety of the freshest organic fruits, vegetables and groceries direct to people’s homes, schools and workplaces all year long. Simply sign up for their produce box, and then you can add any number of things to your order from their shop tab.

You can also start your own co-op, which are organized groups of Door to Door customers that either save money or donate to charities by having their boxes delivered to the same location. Once you have 4 or more members, members receive a $3 discount off each box, or Door to Door Organics donates 10% of the box price.

We opened our complimentary Itty Bitty Box (which isn’t really very itty) to see some fabulous broccoli, a mouth watering mango, some lovely lettuce, some organic blood oranges and apples and some bananas. It was a gorgeous box (the one in the article pales in comparison). The kids thought it was tons of fun and the box was beautiful!

Door to Door Organics’ goal is to make it easy to eat healthfully while feeling good about supporting sustainable food systems, and offer organic produce that is reasonably priced and locally-grown whenever possible.

Bonus recipe:

I made a cheese sauce to go over my broccoli (which the kids loved) and here’s the cheese sauce:

  • 1 large head broccoli
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Paprika
  • Minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Cut broccoli into stalks and microwave broccoli in a covered container, with a little water, for 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour and thyme until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add cheese, stirring until melted.
  3. Drain and pat broccoli dry; place on a serving platter. Top with cheese sauce; sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
