Today I received my first delivery of fresh, organic produce from Door to Door Organics (www.doortodoororganics.com). I was so excited! There are a lot of pros and cons to this kind of service. The cons are that it tends to be fairly pricey and you don’t have exacting control over the produce you receive. However, you do get fresh organic produce delivered to your door weekly. If you are considering Door to Door Organics, email me if you have any questions. A few friends of mine use this company, and they love it!
Right now I will be getting a delivery every other week. Depending upon how quickly I use this up, I may increase that.
This weeks delivery included 3 tangerines, 2 oranges, 1 meyer lemon, 4 apples (2 gala/2 fuji), 1.5 lbs potatos (redskin this time), spinach, broccoli, romaine lettuce, cucumbers.

Each week they also send a recipe that uses some of the ingredients included. This week was a spinach apple salad! It is delicious, I had it for dinner. I did forget to take a picture, but close your eyes and imagine a bed of fresh, vibrant greens, slices apples, and small pieces of sweet onion and raisins.
