Pick ups April 4!

For all those who are new and picking up a Good Food Box for the first time.

Here is a picture of the Lorentzen's garage.

You can see the Lorentzen's garage in the background on the left side. The building on the right is BCP and this picture was taken at the corner right by the Kal Tire place. I hope that helps you find what you are looking for.

Accepting orders for March 24th

We are accepting orders for the April GFB

Orders do need to be in by March 24th. Please note that this is Easter Monday, so I recommend getting orders in much sooner.

In light of this, please just make sure you have the payment to me no later than April 2nd at noon.

The pick up time will be Friday April 4th 7 - 7:30 pm at the Lorentzens

I will be flying out for Switzerland on that day so I will not be able to phone and remind people, so please mark you calenders, set your alarms on your cell phones or whatever works best. I will also be in Switzerland when the next order is due, but I will just email remind people from there.

As always, if there is anything please let me know and PLEASE post comments and thoughts, recipes or even trading of fruits and veggies.

Blessings
Jocelyn

Thanks!

We have completed the second successful Good Food Box run.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated. I can't speak for everyone but I am really happy with what I had in my box.

I want to say a BIG thank you to Becky and Mike for picking up the boxes. Thank you also to everyone for picking up your boxes so promptly, it really is helpful.

Cabbage
The question foremost in my mind is "what in the world do I do with all that cabbage?" I have a feeling I am not the only one who is wondering that either. So I thought I would include a coleslaw recipe that keeps for a long time (several weeks) in here. The only difference is that I usually add some celery seeds and I might or might not heat the oil and vinegar depending on how much time I have.

Becky says that using cabbage in stir fry is really good too. Just use it instead of Chinese cabbage or bok choi

Potatoes
Others have mentioned the over abundance of potatoes. I don't know why but I do not have this problem and usually end up buying more...

I have a great recipe for a Potatoe Leek Gratin (you don't have to use Leeks, but they are yummy) that will use up a fair amount of potatoes. If anyone is interested in that just let me know and I will post it.

There are a few other fun Swiss recipes with potatoes that I can include if people are interested.

Beets
I don't have anything great for this, but I know that Madeleine had a good recipe for a salad with beets. Maybe she can post it for us.

The other thing I have is a recipe for Beet bread (you puree the beets and use it right in the bread). Makes for very interesting looking bright pink bread, but kids usually love it and never notice that it is whole wheat.

Recipes Please
If anyone else has helpful ideas for using the GFB just let me know.

Anyone find that you have too many oranges?
