olive oil drives this basket at $8.49, 19% of the total. The next biggest lines are olive oil ($8.49) and quinoa ($3.99). $28.96 of the basket - 65% - is package remainder: food you buy because stores sell packages and recipes call for amounts. It does not vanish, it sits in your kitchen for the next meal.

“We chose this recipe because the children love bean burritos!” says Taddy’s dad, Ryan. “This version is fun for them to build their wraps from the fresh vegetables we grow in our garden. The beans and quinoa are high in nutrients and protein, and there is a nice balance with the yogurt for dessert.” Taddy likes to serve it with a nonfat Greek-style yogurt parfait that stars fresh pineapple and strawberries.
