One valuable tip I always recommend to clients who are looking to increase their (or their kids’) fruit and veggie intake is to cut up the produce into bite-sized pieces as soon as you bring it home. People are a lot more likely to devour a melon or pick at veggie sticks when they’re washed, [...]

Have you been seeing green all weekend with St. Patty’s day right around the corner? Our veggie drawer has been stuffed to the brim with greens this week – I think Boston Organics was going with the holiday theme when they delivered us a cabbage, kale and collards. Wanting to do something nontraditional with our [...]

Trader Joe’s came out with a new BBQ pulled “chick’n” (seitan based) and our Boston Organics box had some tomatoes and an avocado inside. I knew those combined would make a killer quesadilla. I also had just two Joseph’s brand flax, oat bran and whole wheat tortillas. This is one of my favorite food products [...]

My mom sent me a great looking lentil stew recipe from the NY Times that would make great use of the Boston Organics carrots and Swiss Chard we just received in the last box. However, since I tend to make up my own cooking instructions as I go, making ingredient swaps or cooking method alterations [...]

Last week I think we won the Boston Organics lottery. We received this big globe of produce – green and round – and had no idea what it was! While we received a list of all of the produce in the box, I couldn’t figure out what this big vegetable (or was it a fruit?) [...]

A fresh green pepper in our Boston Organics box inspired this Stuffed Pepper meal. I didn’t want to use it in some standard way, like a salad or stir fry so I thought stuffed peppers would be delish. We always have brown rice, lentils, and salsa on hand in the kitchen, so it was a [...]

For most of the meals I cook, I strive for two things: ease of cooking, and healthful ingredients. The line of Hunt’s Diced Tomato varieties makes both of these possible. Hunt’s canned tomato products can be found at most major grocery stores, and their line of 12 different diced tomato varieties (as well as many [...]

I had two Boston Organics zucchinis in the fridge and some leftover Egg Beaters from making Hanukah Latkes. It would be easy to come up with a dish for the zucchini but not so much for the eggs since we rarely, if ever, use them. (Hanukah was the exception. Or should I say egg-ception? Hahah…) [...]

The head of broccoli in our fridge from Boston Organics inspired these burgers from Vegetarian Times. I intended to make them a few days ago but never got around to it, making me worried that our broccoli would turn bad before I got the chance to cook it. The broccoli didn’t totally turn – it [...]

Healthy Hanukah Latkes? Sounds like an oxymoron! Latkes are typically fried in heavy amounts of oil, since that is the key ingredient in Hanukah foods (and according to my mom, ALL Jewish foods). But I’ve made lighter latkes before, based off of Eating Well’s recipe for Pesto Latkes. I made a variation of the Pesto [...]
