Our first Urban Acres pick-up was this morning.

The goal in joining the co-op was to get inspiration to try some new foods and recipes. I’m calling our first day a success. I tried Korean melon for the first time and fell in love. It’s like cantaloupe but a bit firmer.

I used some of the beets, onion and greens for a salad for our dinner. I love shredded beets on a salad. And I made chicken marsala tonight for the first time. It was really yummy. Between our Urban Acres produce and the additional ingredients from Whole Foods, we ate all organic and almost all local. And it was delicious.
