If you have a Menard's near you, you can get the buckets and lids cheaper. Make sure you wash all of your buckets and dry really good if you are not using mylar. I use the small mylar bags so an entire 5 gallon bucket is not being opened. Love your kitchen. We have been an Azure standard customer for over 10 years, glad to see someone actually buying the mixed box of produce.

Unfortunately we live several hours away from the nearest Menards, but thanks for the tip! If we ever happen to be passing through somewhere that has one, we will definitely check it out!

New subscriber-so glad I found your channel! We just picked up our first Azure order last weekend! I am OBSESSED! Thank you for sharing! Now off to binge watch your videos 😂

Love the mixed box of produce! I’ll have to try that one time. I just did a double azure haul on my channel too! Azure hauls are so fun to watch - loved yours!

for a special Breakfast or brunch: Basic Crepes From the Kitchen of: Lorita Sutton Ingredients: 3 Tbsp. butter 3 eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/8 tsp. salt Butter Cottage Cheese Filling Strawberry sauce Recipe instructions: Melt butter in 8 inch crepe or skillet. Pour butter into mixing bowl, set pan aside. To mixing bowl add eggs, milk and water; beat with rotary beater. Blend in flour and salt till smooth. Refrigerate batter for 2 hours or overnight. Note: Allow 2 to 3 crepes per serving. To Freeze: Leave crepes between sheets of waxed paper. Wrap in foil. To reheat in oven: Remove wax paper, wrap in foil and heat in preheated 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Recipe instructions: Place buttered crepe pan over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. For each crepe pour 3 Tbsp. or a scant 1/4 cup batter into pan/skillet, rotating pan as batter is poured. Crepes should be thin lacy pancake almost immediately. If too much batter is poured into pan, pour off excess immediately. If there are holes, add a drop or two of batter for a patch. Cook until lightly browned on bottom; turn and brown other side. It may be necessary to add more butter to grease pan before pouring in batter each crepe. Stack crepes between sheets of paper towels or waxed paper until ready to use. Spread 3 Tbsp. Cottage Cheese Filling down the center of each crepe; fold the two sides over the center. Serve with Strawberry sauce Recipe for: Cottage Cheese Filling & Strawberry sauce Cottage Cheese Filling Ingredients: 3 cups small curd cottage cheese, 3 Tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. grated lemon peel 1/2 tsp. vanilla Recipe instructions: Blend together cottage cheese, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla in blender or stick blender. Use to fill crepes makes 3 cups. Strawberry Sauce or Berry Sauce Ingredients: 1/2 cup sugar 3 cups fresh strawberries or any berries you prefer or have on hand 1/4 cup water, dash salt 1 Tbsp. corn starch, 1 tsp. butter Recipe instructions: Wash & hull strawberries; crush 1 cup. Slice remainder and set aside. Combine crushed berries, sugar, water, salt, corn starch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens & boils. Boil & stir 1 minute. Add butter, fold in sliced berries. My Notes: I try to remember to make the crepe batter the night before unless eating a late breakfast or brunch. I usually use frozen berries and thaw them unless there is a good sale on berries

Thank you Lorita!!! Makayla will be excited to try this one!

You can use the parsnips in recipes instead of potatoes for a lot less carbs. Not sure if you’re interested in that but for me I’m trying to do the low carb and I love them for that.

Grand Saline in Texas is a huge salt mine.

The fifty pound bag of potatoes is more expensive because they are the larger ones.

😅 I love the positive potato! Do you remember warm fuzzies? Little puff balls with feet, eyes, and a sweet message.

I had to look warm fuzzies up! They are so cute!!!

Thank you so much for the video. I would be interested in your video about wheat berry and the process of using it.

Mighty convenient - Taylor's tators on demand and delivered. Good vid!!!😀

I get the ranch dressing mix too and we use it all the time on so much. The biggest reason I am recording the #threeriverschallenge this year is to teach mill grinding and making bread so we can go to a more wholefoods kitchen

I'm interested in the milling and making of bread recipes!

Just watched your unboxing of two Azure Standard hauls, and it was such a delight! We sent you an email, please take a look.

I just picked up my Azure Standard haul yesterday! I'm already working on the cranberries I bought making them into cranberry juice.

That’s fantastic! I haven’t tried their cranberries!

You should let some of the potatoes sprout eyes and plant them! Home grown potatoes tastes amazing! And add parsnips to a beef stew!

Great ideas!!! We are about to have a super cold snap, beef stew sounds perfect!

You’ll love the pails and gamma lids! Ours are lined with Mylar bags. Nice hauls. Enjoy milling your grains. Do you have an Impact or Stone mill? If you really like pasta, get some Kamut wheat berries! Wowzer good stuff. LOVE your Positive Potatoe - ya got me. lol. New subbie! Hello from San Diego California. 😊

Isn’t it the cutest?! Yes, Makayla found it on Amazon: amzn.to/3tCDh5a

Yes very interested I have wanted to try the alkorn berries to make bread. I don’t know if that’s the way you spellled it it or not I have heard it is a harder bread to make yes just bought my grinder and starting to invest in grains and make healthier bread ., Very interested. Have wanted to try the Alcorn berries to make bread. I don’t know if that’s the way you spell it or not but

I have ordered from Azure standard previously, but its been a while, especially since I am way more on a budget these days. I really love the idea of the produce box, and I heard you say that they will refund if there are issues, but I was curious if those zucchini were maybe on the verge or maybe had gone bad? If just one of the items is not good in the box, would they give a discount? I love having fresh produce and would love it to be available all year round, but I have tried like misfits market and imperfect foods, but unfortunately when it got to me, it was almost all inedible. I live in a place that delivery is pretty sketchy and takes extra time most of the time. This I know would be a pickup so that would make it a little more predictable. Sorry for the long post.

I haven’t had 1st hand experience with produce refunds, but I have seen people in the Facebook group on Azure just have one or two pieces of bad produce in their order and Azure calculates the cost of that specific item and refunds that amount. So for instance if you got two bad zucchinis and they estimated them to be $2 each, they would give you a $4 credit. I believe you have to let them know within 7 days of pickup. Hopefully that helps!
