Rescue Produce Box Recipes

Quite a few people have asked, with the 70-pound produce boxes from Northern Arizona Community Food Project and Borderlands Produce Rescue that come out most months, could I just make a list of recipes to go with each item that comes out?  I definitely can!  If I don't have a recipe, I will let you know what I am doing, and you can let me know if you want a recipe.  This month we got Watermelon, Honey Dew, Mangos, Onions, Carrots, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Acorn Squash, Zucchini, Bell Peppers, and Tomatoes.  I didn't get a watermelon. I know the watermelon was a bonus item with limited quantity.  I will have recipes anyway.
