Read more about why I love CSA and locally–grown fruits and veggies here.

This week’s box:

• microgreens
• cherry tomatoes
• blueberry jam
• 1 cucumber
• 3 eggplants
• 4 red potatoes
• mixed fresh herbs
• okra
• 2 zucchini

A la carte items:

• the best fresh chevre I’ve ever had in my life
• 3 peaches
• basil
• brown jasmine rice

My total was $41. Not bad for so much freshness.

Here’s what my meal plan looks like this week:

• Tuesday: eggplant parmesan
• Wednesday: leftover eggplant parmesan + fried okra
• Thursday: sauteed zucchini + chickpeas over rice
• Friday: wine & cheese

I’m planning to make this for lunches to use up the tomatoes and cucumber and maybe a little of this over the weekend if we decide to grill something. And the blueberry jam is already a favorite for biscuits in the morning or with a little vanilla ice cream after dinner.

Any favorite end-of-summer fruits or veggies?
