using substitute ingredients

One of my challenges in eating locally grown and produced food is getting used to substituting ingredients.  Tonight I made Oven Roasted Eggplant and Butternut Squash Curry and with a few substitutions was able to make it entirely from vegetables that came in my www.greenling.com Local Box order.  I used sweet potatoes in place of the butternut squash, and garlic chives in place of the green onions.  My box also included cherry tomatoes, eggplant, cilantro, and hot peppers. It turned out great, and it felt great to eat something made from fresh veggies from local area farms.
