September's Cheapest Fruits and Vegetables

What type of nutritious foods are you cooking up with this season's fruits and veggies?  We are loving the end of the summer produce.  Nectarines are impossible to keep in our house.  And we've been making tons of chicken salad with tomatoes and cucumbers.  That's been a huge standby dinner for us in these warm months.  As we're rolling into the fall, I'm craving comfort food, but I still want to hang on to my budget and my health.

So here's September's Cheapest Fruits and Vegetables:
Grapes
Pomegranates
Persimmons
Eggplants
Pumpkins
Tomatoes
Spinach
Lettuce

I think I'm a little stumped this month.  I'll be posting a spinach recipe later this month, and probably my eggplant lasagna as well.  And I love pumpkin, but I don't know what to do with it beyond baking.  So where do I go from here?

I need some help.  So help me out here; post some recipes for me.  What are you cooking up?

Don't forget to check out this week's giveaway!

Oooh, I LOOOOOOVE pumpkin and I can't wait until it's in season. I blogged about it a few times last year,if you go to my blog (via my Google account) Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy, search for pumpkin and it will come up with 5-10 recipes for everything from pumpkin spice cake to pumpkin pasta to pumpkin spiced latte. Wow, you just got me really excited about pumpkin season, lol!

Thanks for the great post, btw, great reminders for what I need to start stocking up on in the next few weeks.
