A dear friend told me about dehydrating tomato puree (sometimes seasoned) into a leather. WHAT?? Tomato leather??
Yes, tomato leather can be used to simplify your pizza night. Just plop a tomato leather on top of your crust and start adding fillings. The leather rehydrates as the pizza cooks. Oh yeah, I’ve gotta try this!

A few weeks ago I started playing with recipes for making my own healthier fudgesicles. I used RancherMan as a very willing guinea pig for several batches until I perfected it.
Taste-Testing Homemade Fudgesicles? RancherMan’s got a tough job, huh? Poor guy!
I wanted to make my own fudgesicles for several reasons: They’re healthier, filled with probiotics, produce less landfill trash, are much less expensive. Plus, c’mon let’s be honest – it’s EASY!

I decided I wanted to make and pressure-can my own pasta sauce. Homemade sauce means you have complete control over what goes in (and more importantly, what DOESN’T!)
I’d already used my fresh garden tomatoes to make homemade tomato sauce. Now I’ll turn some of it into flavorful pasta sauce. Check out how easy it is!

We were given a package of instant potato flakes. But I don’t cook with instant potatoes since we both much prefer the taste of real mashed potatoes to instant.
But y’all know how I hate to waste food, so I set out looking for ways to use them up. Thickening for soup? Sure. Topping for shepherd’s pie? Ok.
But it’s taking too long to use this bag of instant potatoes. So I set out to find a recipe to use ’em up a little faster.
Then I stumbled on a recipe to make COOKIES with them. Cookies? Really!?? Hummmm….

RancherMan’s not much of a salad guy. But he knows I’ll be pushing the fresh veggies on him every chance I get. LOL!
Recently I came by a larger quantity of carrots. So in an effort to make sure they didn’t go to waste I blanched & froze quite a few. I also steamed others for supper sides.
Oh, and I also sliced up some raw ones as well. In a sneaky sneak-in-more-veggies move I have a glass container that I keep in the fridge with these sliced carrots. While I’m preparing supper I’ll bring it out for him to snack on.
But he’s not one to snack on carrots without dipping them into a sauce of some kind. And his sauce of choice is Thousand Island dressing.
But then the unthinkable happened – we ran out of the dressing.
(In my best southern belle voice) “Oh gracious, what evah shall I do??”
