Margie is down in New Orleans this week on a much-needed vacation, but never fear! Laura Louise and Mary are on the case, getting those lovely veggies and making sure they make it to your front door. This week we’re getting a nice mix of root veggies and greens, and our herb is thyme.
I don’t know about you guys, but I always have trouble figuring out what to do with those beets. Sure, you can juice them, but if juicing’s not your thing you probably struggle with those bright red veggies each week. Sunchokes are another one that stump me after I’ve gotten them for a few weeks in a row. Never fear! I’ve tracked down some recipes to help out with the beets and sunchokes in your basket that also use some of the other veggies we’re getting this week.

What a day! It’s been alternating between a drizzle and torrential downpour since early this morning. To cheer you guys up this grey, chilly, rainy day, we’ve got a fun surprise for you! Either this week or next, there’s going to be a special little “extra” in or around some of the baskets. A few lucky, random folks will find a special surprise… Read the rest of this entry »

Thanksgiving herbs! Have you ever seen so many herbs in one place?
Today, I got to follow Margie and the gang around while they organized all of your delicious Thanksgiving baskets. As you know, we do custom baskets for Thanksgiving. That means that rather than doling out equal amounts of everything for everyone, we’re whipping up dozens of different baskets, and it takes lots of organization!

Yesterday was practically a party at Vegetable Husband HQ! A lot of the drivers are shy about me taking their photos, so Margie suggested that I swing by later on in the day, when two of my best friends in all of Atlanta were picking up their veggies for delivery. We gabbed and swapped recipes, and they let me take some pictures of our fun veggie times!
