So last week, my son waited patiently by the back door jumping up and down as soon as he caught sight of the purple Spud! truck carrying our weekly order. “The spud man the spud man momma.” And when he dropped of our delivery, my son opened the door and said “thank you” and drug the box inside. He whipped the crate open and exclaimed that there were bananas, and matoes, and bread. He started pulling them out as fast as he could. I soon realized exactly what he was looking for, his favorite part: the dry ice in a brown paper bag. He grabbed it and said put it in the sink and make smoke, momma. Two year olds bring so much joy to everything they do and remind you just how great the small things really are!
This weeks order was not too big, but my son and husbands request of chocolate croissants was fulfilled. It is still so nice to not have to go to the store, and to support local organic farms and farmers.
Here is last weeks rundown.

So it has been a whole year since we started receiving our organic food delivery from www.spud.comand we still love it. My son probably loves it the most. When it arrives he says hi to the delivery person and says thank you for the food, which is too cute coming from two year olds mouth. Then we drag the box in the kitchen and unpack the box. He squeals as we find new things, “yay bananas for me,” “ooooh potatoes,” and “my milk in there!” He helps us unpack the box, put everything away and then comes his favorite part. The dry ice. We head into the bathroom and fill the sink with a bit of water. In goes the dry ice and we have an instant science experiment. Dry ice bubbles and the white cloud of fog rises from the sink. He blows on it and the fog dances around the bathroom. Watching my husband and my son do this together is almost magical. Suddenly my husband is two as well and the two of them giggle and bask in the fun.
Service from www.spud.comhas been wonderful, prompt and caring. They still have free delivery of delicious organic foods over $33. Many new products have been added. Our latest favorite is smoked salmon candy.

So, it has been six months already in my love affair with spud.com and it’s fabulous organic food delivery service. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about it. Today is a big day for me in other ways as well. Today is the last day of my son being one. Tomorrow we start a new world, the “twos”. Although, I think that he already believes himself to be two, judging by his recent enjoyment of the word “no”, temper tantrums and throwing things. But at least I can keep him intrigued enough to try new foods if they come out of the great purple SPUD! box that appears on our doorstep. He especially loves the dry ice that comes with frozen items and that we love to put in a sink full of water so that the kitchen is filled with a misty fog. My son was my inspiration for switching to all organic foods and yet, I think it has made a difference for my whole family. Everyone feels better, really enjoys our fresh foods, and we are all losing weight. Well, except for my son, who eats and eats!
I had friends who asked where I got the beautiful vegetables for a potluck dish, and even my husband can tell the difference now when we eat elsewhere and the produce is not organic. So overall, I would have to say spud.com has changed the way we eat, the way we feel, and has given me back precious time to spend with my toddler.
I don’t want to skip telling you about all of the lovely food that we have sampled over the last six months. Our favorite bread is by far the multi-grain sliced loaf from Essential baking.
It is a wonderful bread, perfect for sandwiches or in the morning with coffee. It is light, but solid and to me tastes faintly of a dark sourdough.
Another bread that we really have enjoyed is the parbaked garlic boulot from Boulangerie Nantaise. We keep it in the freezer and bake it when we need a fresh loaf of delicious, mouthwatering bread. It fills the whole house with a garlicky aroma and we can’t wait to break it out of the oven. It has a satisfying crunch when you first bite into it. For a change, we sometimes get their rosemary boulot loaf which smells equally deliocious when baking.

My husbands hands down favorite treat is the 100% organic almond croissants- Croissants aux Amandes- from Boulangerie Nantaise. He can’t wait to warm one up in the oven. I think I once heard him say he could live on these.
Let’s not forget some of the delicious meats we have tried lately. For my son’s birthday party we ordered Thundering hooves ground beef patties and Organic Prairie
organic beef hot dogs. The hot dogs were a hit with the kiddos and the moms. No leftovers at all! We paired them with organic hot dog and hamburger buns from Rudi’s organic bakery. Another favorite is the ground pork from Thundering Hooves farm. It comes frozen in a 1lb pack.
We used it in a spaghetti sauce instead of beef and the flavor was incredible. I can really tell the difference in flavor now between organic grass fed meats and the ones we used to pick up at the grocery store. You need less to feel satisfied because the flavor is so intense. And you feel good supporting local. We have also tried the chicken breasts, ground chicken, and ground beef. All were delicious. What I have sitting in my freezer right now waiting to cook is a whole chicken. It looks great. The chicken is certified organic, free range and was not fed antibiotics. They are raised on a farm in Eastern washington and locally packaged.
Here is a look at my upcoming standing order, which is so easy to set up and change as your needs and tastes change. In the summer it is easy to load up on lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. The strawberries and grapes this last month have been divine. My son just gobbles them up. Last week we took in a concert at the zoo, where you sit on blankets and eat picnic dinners while listening to wonderful music. Well, at least he people around us did. We spent most of the time chasing or ever escaping toddler, who seemed to wait until we were relaxed and sittng before darting off across the field between blankets and through groups of people where it would be rude for us to trample but just ok if you’re 3 feet tall and really, really cute.

The lower prices show the discount you get by adding things to your standing order. You save money and don’t have to worry about ordering anything. Just go along the top tabs to edit standing order to adjust dates that things will be delivered. When you add a groceryitem to your shopping basket you can choose to add it to your standing order too. The fresh harvest box updates on thursdays so after that time you can see which organic fruits and vegetables are going to come. And it is really easy to change which ones are coming if you decide to. For example for birthday party last week I added 3 lbs of grapes, some strawberries and blueberries because they are always a big seller among toddlers. The fruits have been just divine.
This week, I was so excited to try fresh multi grain bread and fresh herb-spearmint, dill, and basil. The bread was heavenly good. The herbs were fragrant and made cooking so much more fun.
Another wonderful product we tried this week was baby bokchoy. I made a wicked stir fry.
For produce, I tried their mushrooms, onions, snow peas, mixed sweet peppers, eggplant, broccoli, and cabbage. The only peppers available were the mini sweet peppers, which were expensive, but delicious. The snow peas were fresh and crispy, the onions fragrant, the eggplant was okay, but not quite ripe, and the broccoli was great. I made the most wonderful chop salad with all the veggies, herbs and drizzled them with balsamic vinegar and feta and oil. It was delicious. Since the fruit was wonderful last week, I ordered bananas, mangoes, and mineola tangelos.
Overall i was thrilled with my order, happy not to have to go get it at the store and looking forward to my next order.

While I was working my weekly 12 hour shift, and my husband was home feeding my now 22 month old dinner, a mysterious grey tote showed up outside my back french doors. When I got home after work, exhausted, I felt like someone had gone grocery shopping for me. And best of all, it was all healthy, fresh, local and organic. And all I had to do was set up my order online. I fed the computer my fruit and vegetable preferences and it created a custom harvest box for me. Yippee. Rotating veggies and fruits in season that I don’t even have to dream up.
I didn’t have to brave the crowded store and the screaming toddler in my back seat. I didn’t have to go on my one day off.

My order was a not too big, since I had just visited the grocery store the week before. I picked produce that seemed kinda standard around our house. I wanted to try it before I got too adventurous. I ordered a few things that sounded fun to cook (spaghetti and sauce) and easy for lunches (apples).
