Tomatoes!

I love tomatoes! There is nothing like a juicy red tomato on your sandwich. The sad pale pink things you get at restaurants just don’t compare to what you get out of a garden. Plus there is the added feeling of accomplishment of eating something that you grew. However if you do have your own tomato plant chances are you have more tomatoes than you can eat on your sandwiches. Soooo…

What can you do with tomatoes?

Here is a list of things I have tried and enjoyed:

Salsa (canned or fresh)
Spaghetti sauce (canned or fresh)
dehydrated, you can use as “sun dried tomatoes”
tomato powder: put dried tomatoes in your food processor and turn them into powder you can add to sauces as a thickener.
tomato paste
freeze (to use for sauce later)
diced (canned)
Give them away! do not underestimate this one, it is a good way to make friends. Also, we always feel like the more generous we are the more God can bless us.

I am planning to blog about each of those things so stay tuned. I will attach a link once I get the post published. So, if you are planting tomatoes you might want to save this page.
