We talked to clients from Irvington, IL to get their favorite recipes for some of the produce items we distributed that day.
With produce items like potatoes, onions, bananas, apples, and watermelons there was no shortage of inspiration! Now that it’s starting to feel like Autumn, it’s the perfect time of year for a warm Potato Cheese Casserole or Apple French Toast.
