Farm Box LA and a Giveaway, Oh My!


Last week on Gilt City they had a deal for Farm Box LA. I. Was. Pumped. A huge amount of organic AND local produce DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR!? Yes. I got my first delivery and it was one of the best days of my life. Here's some of the treats I got:

  • Kale
  • Red Leaf Lettuce
  • Avocados
  • Garlic
  • Parsley
  • Colorful Carrots (THEY ARE GORG)


  • Crazy big kiwis
  • Apples
  • Potatoes
  • Tangerines
  • Onions
  • Yams



The ONLY thing I'm confused about is this root veg. I'm stumped! It looks like lots of mini garlic cloves, but it isn't. Anyone have any ideas?

I am SO many plans for these puppies. Chicken pot pie, stuffed skirt steak. Yum yum yum. I have a feeling I'll be ordering these more often. If I become a member I get a pretty eco-friendly box to store everything in! Weee! I have realized in this process that I'm a lot easier to please than I thought. It's the simple things, really.



And guess the f what?! I'm gonna give some stuff away! I was shopping at Anthropologie not too long ago and was chatting with my friend about how I love all their kitchen gadgets that I've collected while building my little kitchen and there's some things I just can't seem to live without. So, looks like there's a lucky duck that's going to get three of my favorite Anthro kitchen tools!



  1. Measuring spoons. I would be a terrible liar if I said I had these exact same ones. I don't. Mine are a bit different, but I couldn't find the ones I have...so you'll just have to settle with these ones. They're so stinkin cute, and you can even hang them from a cabinet knob to show 'em off.
  2. 55 minute timer with a magnet. I keep mine on my fridge so it's impossible to lose. I used to have a cute rooster but I would lose it al the time because my cat would decide it was his toy and knock it off the counter. Take that, Curtis!
  3. Kitchen Essentials: sticky notes, labels, recipe cards...you name it. So helpful! Mark your favorite recipes in cookbooks/magazines. Label things after you try them out, make notes, etc. I am obsessed. If you're a busy bee like me it's uber helpful.
SO, how to enter? You have to be following No Thank You Bite via Blog Lovin' or Google and leave your email as a comment! If you want an additional entry, tweet about it with a link back to the blog. Be sure to add the link to your tweet in the comments as well so I can keep track. I'll draw the winner on Monday the 28th. Good luck!

  3. That produce looks amazing! And I am pretty sure that crazy root is a celery root.

  12. I like those cups! We don't use "cups" or spoons as a measure here, just Grams, so it's difficult to follow recipes all over the internet with your measures...

    I agree about it being celery root. I like to use it in mashed potatoes. Just make your regular mashed potato recipe with half potatoes and half celery root. It's healthier and adds a great flavor!
