I ended up with a half case of seconds tomatoes from a guy on the side of the road selling produce.

Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate

from Kitchen Simplicity

Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate - inspired by Martha Stewart
3/4 cup strawberry puree (below)
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup lemon juice (approximately 4 lemons)
Mix ingredients together and use immediately or freeze in a small storage container.
To serve: Add 5 cups cold water and stir to combine. Add additional sugar if needed.*
Makes: 6 cups juice

Tips
*Every fruit has a different level of sugar and every person has a different personal preference. That is why you may need to add more sugar. It's better to not have enough the first time and have to add more then to have too much and not be able to take any out.

*I like to use sparkling water for an even more refreshing taste.

* To store flat: line a large mug with a resealable plastic bag and pour in concentrate, remove excess air and seal tightly. This way you can stack them on top of each other in the freezer and they don't take up as much space.

* You may need to thaw it a bit before using. To do this quickly, place under hot running tap water.

Strawberry puree
2 cups strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
2 tsp. sugar
Blend until smooth. Strain through sieve to remove seeds.
*This makes a little more then needed in the above recipe. Any extra puree can be frozen, in tablespoon portions, in ice cube trays, for later use.

Cheesy Mac and BeefChristine0120

1 lb ground beef chuck
1 (14.5-oz) can beef broth
1 cup water 8 oz
elbow macaroni (2 cups)
1 (12-oz) can evaporated milk
1/4 cup processed cheese sauce
8 oz shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Preheat large sauté pan (or electric skillet) on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place ground beef in pan; cook 5–7 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, or until beef is brown and no pink remains. Stir in broth, water, and macaroni; bring to a boil. Cook 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until liquid is mostly absorbed and macaroni is soft and tender. Stir milk into pasta; remove from heat (or turn heat off). Stir in both cheeses until smooth and melted. Serve.

Best Meatloaf with Tomato and Brown Sugar Glaze

2 lbs ground beef (or 1 pound of ground beef and 1/2 pound each of ground pork and ground veal)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion finely chopped
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk or yogurt
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp dried thyme flakes
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs, oatmeal, or crushed saltine crackers

For glaze:
1/2 cup ketchup or chili sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cider or white vinegar

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium skillet sauté onions and garlic until onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool while assembling meatloaf. Whisk together eggs, milk, thyme, mustard, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Add to meat along with bread crumbs or oatmeal, onions and garlic, and combine gently but thoroughly (don't mush meatloaf too much or it will be tough). Shape into a 9x5 inch loaf. (I like to line a loaf pan with parchment or plastic wrap and put the meat in the loaf pan and then invert it back into the baking dish and remove the parchment- that way you get a uniform loaf shape that bakes evenly). And place into a foil-lined shallow baking dish. Combine ingredients for the glaze and brush half of the glaze on the meatloaf before baking. Brush the remaining glaze on the meatloaf about 15 minutes before it comes out of the oven. Bake about 1 hour or until internal temperature reads at 160 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Allow to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.

christmas jam

Strawberry Kiwi Christmas Jam
I make this jam with the little fuzzless hardy kiwi I grow in my garden. I call it Christmas jam because you can make it two-tone red and green if you make each fruit separately and then pour in layers. You can also easily mix the two together. So if you want to do it separately, divide everything in half (half of the sugar to each pot etc) or just mix it all. You can use regular store bought brown kiwi if you don’t grow or can’t find the smaller green hardy kiwi, but peel them.

1.5 pounds hardy kiwi, stems removed
.1.5 pounds strawberries, cleaned and green bits cut off.
4 cups of sugar
1 packet of “Ball’s No Sugar Needed Pectin”
3 tablespoons lemon juice.


Cook fruit and juice together until liquid and boiling, mash with potato masher, cook a few minutes more, add sugar and pectin, stir frequently until everything has combined. Check taste with spoon, smile, it is good.
Prepare your jars for canning as above, ladle and process as above. Makes about 10 jars.

Beef and Broccoli

1/3 cup oyster sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1/3 cup beef borth
1 tsp soy sauce
2 TBPS brown sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
1 pound steask, 1/8-inch thick strips
3 tbps olive oil
1 clove of garlic
1 pound of broccoli

1. Whisk together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Place the steak pieces into a shallow bowl, pour the oyster sauce mixture over the meat, stir to coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes in refrigerator.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, garlic. Let them sizzle in the hot oil for about 1 minute to flavor the oil, then remove and discard. Stir in the broccoli, and toss and stir in the hot oil until bright green and almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the broccoli from the wok, and set aside.

3. Pour a little more oil into the wok, if needed, and stir and toss the beef with the marinade until the sauce forms a glaze on the beef, and the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Return the cooked broccoli to the wok, and stir until the meat and broccoli are heated through, about 3 minutes.

baked ziti

Baked Ziti
adapted from Cook's Illustrated

1 pound 1% cottage cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 ounces grated parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 pound ziti or other similar pasta (like penne)
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 medium garlic cloves, finely minced (about 5 teaspoons)
1 (28-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil (use 1/2 cup fresh basil if you have it but add it to the sauce after it has simmered and you take it off the heat)
1 teaspoon sugar
Black pepper
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy cream (or substitute whole milk but increase the amount of cornstarch to 2 teaspoons and the cooking time in step 3 by 1 to 2 minutes)
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk the cottage cheese, eggs and 1 cup of the paremsan cheese together in a medium bowl; set aside. Bring 4 quarts of water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt and pasta; cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta begins to soften but is not yet cooked through, about 7 minutes (the pasta will finish cooking in the oven). Drain pasta and leave in colander. Do not wash the large pot.

While the pasta is cooking, heat oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, sugar, basil and oregano; simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Take off heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stir cornstarch into heavy cream and transfer mixture to the now-empty large pot the pasta cooked in. Set the pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pot from heat and add cottage cheese mixture, 1 cup tomato sauce, and 3/4 cup mozzarella, then stir to combine. Add pasta and stir to coat thoroughly with sauce.

Transfer mixture to a 9X13-inch baking dish and spread remaining tomato sauce evenly over pasta. Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella and remaining 1/2 cup parmesan cheese over the top. Cover the baking dish with foil that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove foil and continue to cook until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes longer. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve.

*Freezable Meal: Prepare recipe right up until the baking step and then cover with a double layer of aluminum foil. Freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. To bake, increase baking time to about 1 hour. If baking from frozen, bake covered for 1 hour and 30 minutes, uncover and bake 30 minutes longer.

baked creamy chicken taquitos

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

4kowboys via Recipe by OurBestBites.com

1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 C green salsa
1T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t granulated garlic
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken
1 C grated pepperjack cheese

small corn tortillas
kosher salt

cooking spray
Heat oven to 425.

Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge. Work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or come unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges. Then roll it up as tight as you can.Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top. Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.Dip 'em in salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or this dressing.
