#cosocooking #pasta

Tonight's dinner a wide variation on pasta primavera

Yesterday I prepped carrots, celery, red bell pepper, mushrooms, corn, peas, garlic, parsnip, zucchini, red onion, small yellow tomatoes - some raw, some steamed, some lightly sauteed in EVOO+Butter.

Tonight I cooked the pasta and used a yellow tomato (like he one in the picture) sauce I made last fall and stirred in the veggies. Cheese added later was provolone piccante (love that cheese)

I give up. Butter has become so expensive I didn't want to use it to grease my bread pans, so I used olive oil this time. Bad bad bad idea. The dough absorbed the oil and as a result both loaves completely stuck to the pans. So I quit and ordered 2 silicon bread pans. 😂

#cosogardening #cosocooking

Tomatoes, garlic and herbs from my garden.

This might be enough Marinara sauce to get me through to next year's harvest :)

#cosocooking #cosogardening
The last of this year's canning. 8 pints of Blackberry Lime jelly sweetened with stevia.

I still have several types of tomatoes I grew to turn into sauce and then freeze. That's a lot easier than making jelly.

Today's cooking, baked mac & cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, Asiago) and roast chicken. I'll bone the chicken after it cools and freeze some, also divide up the mac and freeze some. Time to make some chicken stock too.

Not sure what I did with my old recipe so I had to wing it.

It's been years since I made any white bread so I decided to make some today. Looks like it turned out OK
