Ugly Food Makeover

Turning "Ugly" Food into Beautiful Meals

Squash Fries

Hi Friends! So excited to see hints of fall in this week's box with all of our beautiful squash! I know summer isn't quite over, and we are sad to say goodbye, but we are always excited to see the new seasonal additions we can bring to you each week! I am such a huge fan of squash, especially delicata! Delicata squash is my personal favorite, and it is so versitile! Did you know you can eat the skin!? Talk about a quick & easy side dish! You can scoop the seeds out and stu

Corn Salad

Hi all! Ashley here. Aubrey's on vacation this week so I got to play in the kitchen today and create a recipe for you with all the colorful items we rescued this week.

I hope you're proud,

Zucchini Fritters with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

It's already Thursday again! While our couriers have been busy delivering boxes of fresh produce to our customer's homes, I've been busy cooking up a delicious recipe for you. Chances are pretty good that you rolled your eyes when you opened your box today to discover ANOTHER zucchini and yellow squash. Am I right? Believe me, I get it. My husband might make me sleep on the couch if I bring home another crate of all the homeless zucchini that I take in like lost puppy dogs. I
