thoughtful consumption

This week’s produce was a nice combination of stuff. The basil, blueberries, and okra are summer favorites, and the butternut squash and figs are treats that make me think of fall.

• basil
• butternut squash
• okra

• grits
• coffee
• blueberries
• figs

• mustard greens

• eggs
• green cabbage
• sweet onions

I also bought a few things from the online store.

• ciabatta
• honey
• onions
• garlic
• figs

Aren’t the figs beautiful? They have this wonderful old-world oil painting look. I plan to bake mine with goat cheese, like this. Here’s another option – fig, sweet potato, and wild rice stuffing. If I didn’t already have fig plans, I might try this with the butternut squash in place of sweet potatoes. If you’re looking for more of a dessert, consider Cajun Fig Cake.
