This week’s basket is very similar to last week’s basket<\/a>. Normally there is a little more variety, but this week, Milk and Honey Organics’ owners had a special delivery of their own…a new baby boy! Ivan and Christine welcomed\u00a0Tobias Stephen into the world on Tuesday at 10:30AM: 8 lbs. 14 oz., 22 in. long! Congratulations!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quick Tips for this week’s basket:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Braeburn Apples (slice and eat with almond butter or dip in caramel)<\/p>\n

Bananas (use on a Peanut Butter Sandwich or make Banana Splits for a sweet treat on a hot day)<\/p>\n

Celery (the traditional “Ants on a Log” comes to mind: fill with peanut butter and top with raisins)<\/p>\n

Bi-Color Corn (a secret to good corn on the cob is adding a Tbsp. of sugar to the boiling water; this helps pull out the natural sweetness of the corn)<\/p>\n

Cucumbers (sliced with Ranch dressing)<\/p>\n

Garlic (roast and spread on toast)<\/p>\n

Sweet Vidalia Onions (great on a burger)<\/p>\n

South Carolina White Peaches (add slices to lemonade or sweet tea for a change)<\/p>\n

Flavorosa Pluots (use like plums; great on vanilla ice cream!)<\/p>\n

Yukon Gold Potatoes (potato wedges; use as a thickener in soups; or make potato salad)<\/p>\n

Mixed Baby Greens (enjoy a fresh salad or add to any sandwich)<\/p>\n

Roma Tomatoes (Layer slices with mozzarella cheese and top with fresh basil,\u00a0salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar)<\/p>\n
