Well, I picked up another produce box and other products from Georgia Grown To Go yesterday! And, yay! I didn't embarrass myself this time with car doors that wouldn't unlock. :) (Still can't figure out why they didn't work last time.)
It's fun to see the different produce that comes a few weeks later. This time, the box included corn, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, Vidalia onions, green peppers, cantaloupe, and...a bag of jalapeño peppers! I believe Mindy once shared a jalapeño popper recipe, so I plan to look that up.
So we had our first of the year cantaloupe last night. It was soo good!! Perfectly ripe.
This time they also offered shiitake mushrooms grown not too far from here (up in the mountains in apple country). I roasted them for dinner along with the squash and green peppers and onions.
I also ordered a huge box of Georgia peaches. I'm so excited about these! I plan to freeze some and will be making a cobbler soon.
I'm looking for recommendations for how to freeze the peaches. I think I will do a flash dip in boiling water to help the peel come off. I wanted to see what y'all recommend to keep them from browning. Do you use lemon juice and sugar (that's one recipe I found)? What do y'all think? I plan to freeze them in bags (not canned).
I look forward to hearing from all of you!

I wanted to share a couple of products that I've found recently that I love. Both appear to be family-owned businesses.
One is a pasta sauce (I loved the name Home Style Gravy) made in Brooklyn, NY. Cate Nolan may know of this place! Michael's of Brooklyn, which is an Italian restaurant that has been family owned and operated since 1964. It was a fantastic sauce! I plan to buy more, and thankfully can do so at my local grocery store.
We also recently made a meal from the meal delivery service, and they sent us pre-made pizza dough. It made an AMAZING pizza. It turned out so good that I went and dug the dough bag out of the trash so I could find out what brand it is! (Who else does that type thing?? Please tell me I'm not the only one.) :)
I looked up this company online. Lamonica's Pizza Dough. The company started out a family pizza business in 1954, and began making frozen dough in 1962. Now they've grown to have several frozen dough facilities. They appear to mostly supply restaurants and such. I did find one distributor online where I could buy a fairly large quantity. But I thought I would share with y'all to see if you've ever seen it at your grocery's freezer section. I'd love to know whether I can find it locally!
Do y'all have any locally packaged products that you love to buy?
