An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

This year, just the same as every year...I have made the goal of becoming a healthier person.
So of course, this means I need to become more active, eat better, sleep better, reduce stress, yadda, yadda, yadda... My problem is, it is easy to say I am going to do these things, but really, will I follow through???
This week, I found out about an awesome company in our area that delivers fresh organic, locally grown, in season produce straight to your door. It is called Farm Fresh to You. The customer has the ability to chose what type of box they order, i.e. mostly fruit, mostly vegetable, mixed box, or what size: small, regular, or large. They can also choose how often deliveries are made: every week, every other week, every third week, or every fourth week. Every week the list of produce changes for what is in season. The customer has the ability to exclude certain items that they do not like on the Farm Fresh to You site. If there is an item being sent for the week that is on your exclusion list, the company will exchange it for another item that is in season. The best part is, it is all on the Internet!
This week, Rick and I decided to sign up. So on Thursday (our designated delivery day) we came home to find a box at our doorstep (located in exactly the right spot I designated on the Internet). This is what we found inside!!!

Yummy!!! It did take quite a bit of time to prep these veggies (just like Rachel Rae tells you to do!) But, I am happy to say, that already today, I packed my lunch! And it consists of two different types of lettuce for a salad and a huge orange! Sooooo healthy!

Wow! What an awesome service! Your produce looks DELICIOUS!! It's always hard to be healthier but once you get into the habit I think it's easy to stick to! Great resolution, though!

Lena, my mashed potatoes come out pretty good. I mash them but leave them a bit chunky and I use plain yogurt instead of butter, milk or sour cream. I don't know if that makes the difference. I know what you mean about the junk food too. I bought some all natural chips to have with salsa. Of course half a bag later.....not so healthy any more :)
