Welcome

About 3 months ago, our family of 5 started subscribing to Full Circle- a customizable, no commitment produce box subscription service.

So far, so good.  I like...

• the flexibility to change items that are in our scheduled delivery
• the ability to hold a delivery for weeks when we are out of town or don't want the produce box
• the ability to add meats, grains, dairy, and other grocery items in addition to the scheduled box contents

Also, I like that it forces us to eat more fruits and vegetables.  I am being more adventurous in cooking (I roasted beets last night.  Beets!) and the kids are definitely willing to try new things.

So... why the blog?  Mostly, I want to keep track of what meals we eat, how well we are using the produce that comes in the box, and I want to make these ideas available to others.

Typically (when I'm feeling extremely motivated and energetic) I plan and shop for our meals for the week on Sunday, knowing that our produce box will be delivered Sunday night.  We were out of town last week, so no planning. 

Here's what we got in the box this week...
