Gimme that
Last Mothers day my little sister Amelia gave my Mom an awesome basket filled with fruits and vegetables. I thought the idea was genious. Why just give flowers on a special occasion…. Think outside the box like my fab sister and give a beautiful and delicious edible gift basket of fruit and veggies instead. Pretty to look at and tastes great too!
                                                                  

Step 1. Find a basket that you like. If your like me you will have a variety of decorative baskets in your closet or garage. if you don’t have one ion hand head to Pier One  Imports,Ross, or even the 99 cent store to pick up an inexpensive basket.

Step 2. Go to your local farmers market or grocery store and pick up your desired fruits and veggies.  When deciding on the particular produce that you will use don’t be afraid to choose a fruit or vegetable that you might not know exactly what to do with.Think coconut or a unique squash.this will add a little mystic to the basket. look for a variety of colors in your veggies and fruit to make your basket as vibrant as possible!

a few ideas                                                                         bananas

tomatoes

grapes

kale

ears of corn

You get the idea…

Step 3. build your basket the day that you will be delivering it.  Now the fun begins!  Arrange the fruit and veggies so that look  pleasing to the eye.

step 4. you get a bonus gold star for doing this (optional step) that I just think will take your basket to a whole new level!

print out or hand write a favorite recipe using at least one of the ingredients in your basket.

For example you might share your favorite banana bread recipe or your favorite smoothie recipe that includes…kale…yes, I said kale !

Step 5. attach the recipe to the handle of the basket with a nice piece of ribbon.

Step 6.  Get your butt out the door and deliver this vibrant basket of love and goodness!

 You have just said I love and care about you, with a basket…of fruit and veggies.
I would love to hear your ideas on making creative baskets….have you ever received an edible basket before?
