Bountiful Baskets

Have you ever heard of bountiful baskets? If not this is your lucky day! Bountiful baskets are amazing! With bountiful baskets you get a ton of fresh produce. You get 50% fruit and 50% vegetable for 15 dollars! How amazing is that! The best part is you seriously get a bunch of food! Here are a few pics of what comes in a basket. You never get to pick whats in you basket but its all useful and delicious! Also, it sounds corny but it is sort of suspenseful and exciting wondering what your going to get!

You register online Monday and Tuesday, and you pick up two wonderful baskets full of fruits and veggies on Saturday morning at a very specific time at a specified location. It is that simple. The web site you go to log in is HERE.


You can order bountiful baskets in 13 states all in the mid-west or the west. When you go to pick up your basket this is what it looks like! There are tons of baskets! There will be volunteers to assist you in checking in, collecting you haul, and checking out. The process is simple and pain free!
There are a ton of fun things that come from bountiful baskets! The main one for me is learning how to cook new things and develop new recipes! It is a blast! Today for instance I made the “Nacho Libre Corn”. Its seen in the movie. I got corn in my basket and decided to try something new! It was amazing! It is super messy but it was so worth trying. I also got a root called jicama. It is kind of like a sweet potato. It is pretty yummy but I had to learn how to cook with that as well! If you are in an area where bountiful baskets are I urge you to try it out! You wont be disappointed… you will be addicted!
The “Nacho Libre Corn”

Grill the corn until all sides get a little brown.

Brush the corn generously with a half mayo half sour cream mixture.Roll in cotija cheese - kind of a mexican feta, you can sub for feta if you want.Season with chili powder.
Enjoy!

NewjobNewjobNewjobNewjob!

Well since I have been back at Disney and looking for a new job. It has been a horrible horrible experience because every single student at BYU-Idaho is looking for a job, or is taking up all of the potentiail jobs.

You could litterally go around town and in the windows of buisness's you will see a sign like this:

Needless to say, it hasn't been pretty. And considering how poor I am, I was pretty worried about how this semester was going to work out. But I FINALLY (and only because my Heavenly Father loves me) found a job at none other then......


Yes! Yes! I know I know! How did I get so lucky? Ya, I am asking myself the same thing.

I am so excited. So far I have just worked a couple hours for training and I am starting officially on MONDAY. Gah. I love it. My manager is really super cool and nice, and so far everyone I will be working with is really nice too.

So speaking of my new job, I get some sweet coupons for loved ones. So, if you are interested, click on the link and you can get 20% off at Any Down East Store (Basics, or home store) or online! But just so you know, the last day you can use the coupon is Sunday.
