The Kitchen Chalkboard

Farm food waste is a real problem in the U.S. Nearly 30-40 percent of the food supply is sent to landfills, according to the USDA. That includes wholesome food that you could place on the dinner table but instead rots in landfills. Some of the food is not fit for consumption, but often the taste is not compromised; they just have some blemishes.

Imperfect Food created a way to get food from farms typically thrown away into customers’ hands. The company prides itself on helping to eliminate food waste in an environmentally conscious way.

After learning more about food recovery services, I was intrigued. The notion of having food, mainly fruits and vegetables, delivered to me weekly was appealing, and doing my part to reduce food waste had me further sold.

But just how does Imperfect Foods work? Is it worth it? And how does Imperfect Foods compare to Misfit Market? I did the research and tried it for several weeks to get the answers.

I first came across hot honey last year when I went to a restaurant that served chicken and waffles for dinner. There was a small tin of hot honey next to it, and I was intrigued. I wasn’t that into hot sauces at the time, so I didn’t think too much about it, but slowly I started to see it more and more.

Recently I have been trying to expand the palate of my family by introducing new cuisines and flavors. Hot honey was the perfect addition to my pantry!

Learn How To Get Kids To Eat Vegetables With These 4 Easy Tips

by Kristen 1 Comment

I am always trying to learn how to get kids to eat vegetables. Fruits haven’t been too much of a problem, but anything green? No way! When you ask my little guy what his favorite food is, he will almost always say “peas.” Seriously. If he ever tells you that, do NOT believe him. I’ve called his bluff many times and given him peas. His reply, “never said that.” Bless his heart.

Despite my little guy’s apparent pea obsession, I’m always on the hunt for a new way to get my boys to eat more vegetables, and so I took a class on Child Nutrition from Stanford University. It was relatively simple, but there were four good takeaways. I’ve been using these tips for a year now, and honestly believe that I learned how to get kids to eat vegetables.
