Where else can you find Colin Cowie, Emeril, Todd Eng­lish, Ingrid Hoff­mann, Padma Lak­shi and Wolf­gang Puck with some seri­ously great good­ies for your kitchen, table and pantry. Well, HSN is adding to the fam­ily, bring­ing on my absolute favorite choco­latier, Jacques Tor­res, those chic south­ern boys, The Lee Bros. and noted Chi­nese Amer­i­can chef, Ken Hom dur­ing their HSN Cooks Spring Week­end this week­end, March 26 – 27 and it’s pre­sented by one of my fave foodie mags, Bon Appétit.

A Bounty of Fruits and Veggies…

 A Bounty of Fruits and Veggies...In my quest on eat­ing health­ier this year, I made a com­mit­ment to actu­ally USE the pro­duce I buy.

I am guilty of shop­ping for gro­ceries sans list, going “ohhh – let me try this” and “Ooohhh, that looks great” and my bags are loaded with pro­duce due to my impulse shop­ping (and you thought I was bad with shoes – not!). Dur­ing the week, lately I have been so drained from the 9to9 that when I get home my fin­gers start dial­ing for take­out. Not to men­tion, I really don’t have much time to spend at Pub­lix or Fresh Mar­ket these days – it’s that crazy.

Well, I found out about this great ser­vice called Orlando Organ­ics where they deliver a plethora of organic good­ies to you and you get to set the sched­ule for weekly or bi-weekly, all very rea­son­ably priced. In addi­tion to my nor­mal order, I decided to add some extra fruit. The peo­ple there are so great, very per­son­able and actu­ally pay atten­tion to what you may not like and try to help you out with your deliv­ery. All in all, I’m thrilled so far. And, now that I have my Lotus sys­tem, I’m excited.

So, with that, let’s see what I got, shall we?

  • Blue­ber­ries (just in time for The Chic Life’s Weekly Challenge)
  • Straw­ber­ries
  • Kiwi (Have to admit – never tried it but I’m up for a challenge)
  • Bananas
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Cherry Toma­toes (roasted tomato sauce for tortellini)
  • Let­tuce
  • Onions
  • Win­ter (??) Squash
  • Avo­cado
  • Baby Car­rots

The cooler was crazy full with a plethora of organic good­ies. I felt like a kid on Christ­mas going “Iron Chef – Ingre­di­ent – I dunno!” If any­thing it spurred the cre­ativ­ity in me and I have some inter­est­ing things on the agenda this week.

Now, please excuse me while I am off to learn about all things Win­ter Squash…
