It’s Friday night. You’re exhausted. You’ve made your contribution for a Bountiful Basket this week, but there is still a week-old (or two-week old, let’s be honest) head of broccoli (or bunch of asparagus, sack of potatoes, head of cauliflower, etc.) in the fridge staring you down, begging to be […]

Irish Shepherd’s Pie
There is nothing more comforting than Irish Shepherd’s Pie. This traditional Irish recipe has been handed down for generations in our family. We make this dish year round but it is a great recipe for St. Patrick’s Day instead of corned beef and cabbage. It is commonly made with […]
Tater Tot Hot Dish ~ Jamie Style
Since we started contributing for baskets, I can count on 1 hand the number of times I have used frozen vegetables while cooking. There is no need anymore! I have this beautiful bounty on a weekly basis. I love the difference it is making for my family, I feel better […]
Squash Quesadilla
The challenge was on. What can you do with an acorn squash that is different and tasty? At our house, we love quesadillas!

Basket Fried Rice

Turkey and Wild Rice Soup
What to do with leftover chicken or turkey….I finally found one every one in my house will eat!
Wheat Berry Risotto
I have been exploring uses for my bag of wheat berries that is living in my pantry. I had a major risotto craving so I thought I would try to sub the wheat berries in for the rice. This recipe turned out really comforting and rich like traditional risotto. I […]
Sausage, Kale, and White Bean Pasta
Kale, the trendy “superfood” pops up in my basket quite a bit. I don’t love it, but it gives me an opportunity to get creative in the kitchen. This dish is inspired by sausage, kale, and white bean soup and will take you halfway across the world to a trattoria […]
Citrus Chicken Fajita Marinade
I love the bright and fresh citrus that we get in the wintertime from Bountiful Baskets but sometimes my counter fills up faster than I get them used. I was inspired to use the citrus to make a flavorful marinade for the fajitas on my meal plan for this week. […]
