12 Days of Hungry Harvest
The top 12 reasons your Harvest will help put a smile on your face this holiday.
There’s no partridges in pear trees here, but like any true love, we have plenty to give this holiday season. So we’ve rounded up 12 reasons we think the goodies in your Hungry Harvest box and add-ons from our Marketplace will make the season bright.
1. Fruit Cake (yes, really)
Bring honor back to the much-maligned fruit cake with this fresh take from Food & Wine (sans dried fruit to stick in your teeth).
Get it in our Marketplace: Apples, Pears, Pomegranates, Eggs
2. Lotsa Latkes
Part of your tradition or not, do yourself a favor and make plenty of latkes this holiday. Use this simple recipe from Kitchn or follow these very danceable directions from Evan, our CEO.
Get it on our Marketplace: Onions, Potatoes, Eggs
3. Sniffle-fighters
When coughs and colds ultimately strike, you'll have citrus on the ready for hot toddies (or OJ).
Get it on our Marketplace: Oranges, Lemons, Grapefruit
4. Soup it Up
With all the mirepoix makings, get cozy in these last few weeks of the year with a spontaneous soup.
Get it in our Marketplace: Onions, Celery, Carrots, Garlic, Herbs
5. Stocking Stuffers
Ok, so maybe no one wants broccoli in their stocking, but don’t you remember how fun it was to get apples and oranges as a kid? Wasn’t it?
Get it in our Marketplace: Apples, Oranges, Broccoli??
6. Grocery, it’s cold outside
Skip the store on a blustery day. We’ll bring it right to your door so you don’t have to interrupt your third helping of ELF.
7. Strata-licious
Easy to make ahead of time and a great way to keep slightly stale bread from going to waste, this strata from Cooking with Scraps (also in our gift guide) is incredible.
Get it from our Marketplace: Bread, Eggs, Olive Oil, All the Produce
8. Do it for Frosty
If your snowman’s looking for a nose, you don’t want to be the one without a carrot. You can always eat it once they’re gone. We won’t tell.
Get it from our Marketplace: Carrots
9. Good for what wass-ails ya
Make your own cider with some apples, a crock pot and about 10 minutes of prep. It’s a good friend to rum or bourbon, if that’s your thing.
Get it in our Marketplace: Apples, Apples, Apples
10. Make your box a party partner
Empty Hungry Harvest boxes aren’t exclusively for cats. They’re also great for transporting your delicious, hot dishes to potlucks and parties.
11. Freak out Santa
Skip the cookies, and be the only weirdos that would leave Santa and his reindeer a pomegranate. After all the treats of the holiday season, it’s a nice, healthy midnight snack for whoever clears the plate.
Get it in our Marketplace: Pomegranates, Oranges, Avocados
12. Sneak up on the New Year
