Monday Menu Plan for January 25, 2016 and a Fruit Box Giveaway {ENDED}
Greetings:
Happy Monday! I hope you had a delicious week last week. We sure did.
I'm still dipping my foot into the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle. I'm testing dishes and eating a lot more fruits and vegetables.
Speaking of fruits and veggies I have a lovely giveaway for one of you today so do read on.
Today's beautiful bounty comes from GrubMarket an online farmers market.
About GrubMarket:
- Unbeatable prices: While many food delivery services and premium grocers cater to high-income earners, GrubMarket is committed to making fresh and delicious food accessible to all people by keeping their prices consistently lower than all comparable grocers.
- Convenience: Through their reliable operations, GrubMarket is committed to providing people in food deserts (ie. areas without farmers' markets and fresh grocery stores) with access to high-quality, freshly-harvested items that they would typically find at a farmers' market or Whole Foods store. Additionally, they offer free delivery across the U.S. for all orders above $59.
- Food Discovery: GrubMarket provides a platform for their partnering small farms and vendors to sell their items directly to customers. Many of these food producers have challenges getting shelf space at grocery stores, and/or may not want to pay the upfront costs of hosting farmers' market tables. GrubMarket gives these food producers access to tens of thousands of customers through a robust online marketplace, regardless of the food producers' production scale.
