I got my first Hungry Harvest Haul this week! Hungry Harvest is a produce delivery company that rescues ugly or overproduced fruits and veggies and delivers them straight to your doorstep.
Every year, 40% of food goes to waste in this country. 20 billion pounds of that is produce that's lost before it ever leaves the farm.
This company is one of many on this mission, but Hungry Harvest was founded by an alumni from my college, the University of Maryland. My parents have been using Hungry Harvest for a few years now, and I'm always excited to see what my recipes my mom comes up with. When quarantine craziness started earlier this year, I was able to get my hands on a subscription after only being on the waitlist for a week or two. I'm so grateful for their service and mission.
1 in 5 fruits and veggies go to waste for the most ridiculous reasons. Too big. Too small. Don't quite look "right."
If you'd like to try Hungry Harvest, I have a coupon code for $10 off your first order, and I'll get a discount off of my next order too!

Pear-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Recipe Inspiration: Food Faith Fitness Harvest Paleo Vegan Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
I like a challenge of incorporating fruit into dinner recipes, and these were SO GOOD! I searched Pinterest for pear dinners, and luckily I had two sweet potatoes in my pantry for this recipe. I am definitely making these again in the fall!
Chicken Taco Lettuce Wraps with Pineapple Kiwi Salsa
Recipe Inspiration: Hello Fresh Tropical Chicken Tacos
I immediately knew I wanted to make a tropical salsa with the pineapple and kiwis, so this was a no-brainer. The butter lettuce was perfect for wraps. I love how colorful and fresh this meal is.
Sheetpan Tray Dinner
We ended up just roasting the cauliflower and potatoes with some chicken apple sausage and carrots we had in the fridge. Nothing special, just normal.
Butternut Squash Pancakes
Recipe Inspiration: The Lean Green Bean Butternut Squash Pancakes
I roasted and pureed the butternut squash the night before making this pancake stack. The pancakes turned out soft and fluffy, and will also be a nice fall weekend breakfast. Served with chopped walnuts and maple syrup!
Cooking Class Steak Dinner
Lastly, we used the butter lettuce and potatoes to recreate our cooking class dinner from last January. As a Christmas gift, Mike and I went to Sur la Table and made steak, butter lettuce salad with a Dijon vinaigrette, duck fat potatoes, and chocolate soufflés. Our dinner this week wasn't as fancy, but definitely similar!
