Dinner is zucchini patties/burgers and left over corn on the cob.
It has been a "food prep" day. I've had fresh product sitting on my kitchen table all week. Well, today was the day. I have two different cauliflower dishes, roasted broccoli, more zucchini patties in the freezer, two different squash soups in the freezer, used up bananas and made oatmeal banana bars (half in the freezer), homemade sourdough rolls and cucumber salad. I think that is everything - LOL. Feels good not to have this stuff sitting and rotting. (sadly that is what usually happens.) So, I'm starting the week with several dishes/side dishes ready to just reheat.
Did I mention I'm really tired?

Bravo Happy Stuff! Last night we had jarred alfredo sauce over Italiamo tricolor Fusilli Pugliesi from Lidl grocery store. It was the best pasta for the Alfredo we've had. It absorbs the sauce. I put cut up chicken sausage sund fried tomato in mine, husband had his plain. We were both quite satisfied.
Thanks, nswef. And Yum on the Alfredo sauce. Way back when - when I had occasion to have a meal alone, I would sometimes buy a jar of alfredo sauce, add some mushrooms and eat it with some good italian or french bread. For me that was very decadent. LOL

Not dinner. At least not tonight. But I got 12 lbs of tomatoes from our favorite farmer and turned them into paste. Maybe 1 1/2 pounds of it? I'll freeze it tomorrow in ice cube trays so that I can use small batches of it in pasta sauce and such as needed. Tastes sweeter and gentler than the canned stuff.
Tomorrow we'll be using it for dinner. Eggplant Parmesan. Made sauce from tomatoes from the same farmer a few weeks ago adding in garlic and some basil we've grown ourselves. Will use a bit of the paste to thicken the sauce.
The container is roughly 6"x6"x2"

As I've never made tomato paste, I have to ask. How do you make it versus sauce? Just let it cook down more? It does look yummy!

Will be having a "cooking day" today and plan to make chicken and dumplings for dinner. Reserve for the week will be personal pizzas and maybe a bean soup I'll do up in the cp today.

You start the same way on the stove, but then after using the blender you transfer it to baking sheets in the oven. (I used 275 on the convection setting). The increased surface area and only indirect heat allow it to boil off water quickly but without burning. Took about 3 hours and only had to stir it every 45 minutes or so.
To keep it you add a little lemon juice and can freeze it. I'll do that today. New ice cube trays arrived yesterday.
Sometimes the simplest things are the best! Made tacos on tortilla chips.
Thanks! That sounds pretty easy.
