No. Would that be hollowed out cherry tomatoes? Sounds like it would go good over rice.

Not hallowed out cherry tomatoes. and good over pasta. Get a shallow baking pan, I use my caste iron skillet. Get a bar of Feta cheese, put in center of pan, take a basket of cherry tomatoes and just pour them out around the cheese, I also add several garlic cloves and cubed eggplant. Put in oven, 350 for about 45 mins. Take out, stir about add cooked pasta to it and gently mix. Eat.

Ah, looks good.

We've got a couple gallon bags of frozen cherry tomatoes to use up.

I really like to eat especially fruits and vegetables from the garden. Also, I really like fast food, and probably because of that, I have improved quite a lot. I found the article https://betterme.world/articles/30-day-fasting-challenge/ and now I will try to lose weight through fasting or intermittent fasting. It looks very interesting to me and I know that many people lose extra pounds thanks to this type of diet

@dianaadr , quiet opposite taste from each, you like fruits and veggies from the garden and also fast food. Have not eaten any fast food in many years.

So, tried the feta bake and was disappointed. Very watery.

But also might have brought up a solution to our inability to make scratch made tomato sauce. Theory is something about the freeze and thaw process brings out the acidity in tomatoes or knocks down the sugars.

If we get tomatoes from the garden this year, we might try doing very fresh sauce. Previously we were picking so many tomatoes that we didn't have time to can them. So we would chunk and freeze until fall then try making sauce.

Really, watery, how, mine never is. Did you only put the feta cheese in it. Not the fluid around it? Mine actually is very thick, I even add pasta water to thin it out some.

BTW, I keep the brine part that the feta cheese comes in, in a jar in the fridge, when I have enough of the brine liquid I use it to marinate raw chicken in it for 24 hours.

It's the same problem we have whenever we use frozen tomatoes. Flavor was good, texture was not.

Might try it again with fresh tomatoes.

Try making it as usual in the oven ---but in a caste iron skillet. then when done, and the juices are there, put on top of the stove, and toss in half cooked pasta, let it finish cooking , low heat, lid on , then the pasta will absorb the liquid.

I'm always on the lookout for delicious new recipes and foodie tips! Recently, I've been trying to balance my love for good food with healthier choices. Anyone else in the same boat? I've also heard about Wegovy, which can help with weight management. You can buy wegovy online, but always consult your doctor first.

 

[Esther Knapicius]

I just learn to read ingredients, and incorporate good natural food in my day. I am blessed to live around lots of Amish, getting fresh stuff.
I have always chosen healthier choices, well maybe not always, how about past 40 years. Like I have not been to a McDonalds in 40 years.

Peppers ultra pot to pan pizza recipe.

This is simple to make on a day you don't feel like making a big meal. Because you cover up the meat it's basically vegetarian

Start with some greens from the garden. I am using baby spinach, chives, and some strange looking leaves I found growing at the side of my garden.. and mozzarella to shred:

Then take out the frozen pizza:

Then bake at 450 until perfection has been achieved:

Enjoy! And don't make any plans to go out for the evening lol

I am allergic to strange little leaves. Lol. I have never seen that option. I think I will stick to my own homemade pizzas, but enjoy.

If

Don't feel too bad, I only have 3 tomatoes to pick so far, no pickles yet. My spinach and the first planting of lettuce have bolted.

My wife gets leftover tomatoes from work right now. Not very nice ones either. But we're looking at ways to use them.

Spinach, lettuce, beets and carrots were all planted back in Marc

Anyone hear of this? or grow it.

I have lovage. Its a new addition & it tastes pretty good.
