August recipes on Living Hilo Style focused on fresh produce, with lots of garden to table dishes. In September, Anne Chung focused on making many meals out of a small amount of food, something that most of can appreciate these days. Between a produce box from Hawaii Eco Farm and a freshly-caught ahi from a neighbor, Anne was able to create nine different dishes (and those are just the ones that made it to the blog!). Throw in a recipe for 7-Layer Jell-O Shots, and a Rambutan & Calamansi Cocktail, and it was definitely a September to remember.

She made a shoyu ahi poke and a spicy ahi poke. I had some freshly harvested okra so I made a natto cocktail with it. Read more of this LHS recipe HERE.

Hawaii Eco Bok Choy and Kimchi Fried Noodles
I received some beautiful baby bok choy grown by Hamakua Forest Farms in my Hawaii Eco farm box.

Hawaii Eco Papaya and Mixed Fruit Crisp
I had a beautiful papaya in my Hawaii Eco farm box that was grown at the Johnson Family Farm.
