Tomatoes. We have way too many tomatoes coming from our garden and would really like to save some for after summer. I have no idea how to "can" anything. Can you freeze tomatoes? If yes, what is the best way to do so?

I make a sauce and then bag it in ziploc freezer bags - whatever portions you want. Then, when you run out of fresh tomatoes in a few weeks, defrost and enjoy! 94 weeks ago

Then put them into freezer bags and press out as much air as you can and you're done.
Good luck! 94 weeks ago

In my never-ending quest to try to eat healthier I recently started to cook Tempeh. It has a great texture that beats the hell out of Tofu. The only problem is (like Tofu) it's hard to add flavor to it. The best method I've found is to marinade it in Soy Sauce for about an hour then stir fry w/ some veggies. Anyone else worked w/ Tempeh? I'd like to find some new recipes!

Not with tempeh, but I have a GREAT recipe for tofu! You have to marinate it overnight, but it's worth it! 99 weeks ago

My blog just passed the 10,000 RSS subscribers mark today. I am not really a numbers focused blogger...I would much rather work on connecting with readers who are genuinely interested in my content. That said, it is still a pretty nice milestone to pass. I can say those numbers don't matter, but I am still pretty happy to watch the blog grow.
