Pork Sausage, Eggs and Polenta
I found this grocery delivery place off of Instagram called Imperfect Foods. My Pork Sausage, Eggs and Polenta recipe is inspired by their products. Basically the food that they feature are perhaps misfits, such as cut too small for industry standards, or excessive quantity , etc. But otherwise perfectly good food. As far as prices, they aren’t higher than what you would find at your local Kroger’s, Trader Joe’s or whichever chain you shop at.
My Imperfect Foods Experience so far…
I’ve been using this service for over a month now and want to share some thoughts. {I’m not affiliated with them, I just really love their services}
The ordering process is easy and the delivery is free if you spend over a certain amount.
I save time! You can really plan out what you are cooking and have everything delivered to your door.
I really dig the vegan products that they feature. I can’t get over the creaminess of the plant based cheddar cheese! A lot of their meat is organic/all natural. They have basic staples as well like pasta, rice, and premade refrigerated sauces.
The produce and herbs look great! Like literally as I type this, I’m in my kitchen- my eyes are glaring at the cilantro. I have my cilantro in a cup of water that I received from them a few days ago and it looks healthy and fresh. Next to it I have the cilantro I purchased yesterday from Kroger- and it looks wilted and yellowish. SIGH
Some of the cons from using this service have been you are given a window of opportunity to shop and based on your zip code is when your delivery is scheduled. So mine is every Wednesday, I have to really think of what I’m purchasing on the weekend so I don’t have duplicates or too much food to cook with.
Also there may be something you like and had tried for a couple of weeks ago but maybe the following week, it is not available or sold out.
Overall, it has been a pleasant experience using and receiving groceries from them.
Grocery Inspiration: Pork Sausage, Eggs and Polenta
Here is one of the dishes I created with their products. Uncured freshly ground pork breakfast sausage from Niman Ranch and organic traditional polenta from Ancient Harvest. This breakfast scramble is easy, tasty and something the whole family can enjoy. If you don’t want to have the eggs as a scramble, you can have them fried, over medium or over easy.
