I can't believe you accomplish all that in one day - BRAVO!!!! We've got some lovely staples that I love to bake and or produce. Carly is a slave in the kitchen too :) Our favorite is a very healthy wholesome whole wheat chocolate chip cookie filled with flax, oats, whole wheat flour, raisins, orange peel and coconut. Very little sugar in these yummy delights and they disappear very quickly so I have to double the batch. We also have a wonderful friend who freezes us apple sauce and we make a wicked apple spice bundt cake which is soooo moist, it melts in your mouth. My husband blends us up a morning shake with whatever local fruit is available or what's in the freezer. Lucky us! Wendy I’d like to live at Sarah’s place!!!!

I think I might want to move in with Sarah - do you think she'd adopt me? I'll do dishes :) Ah, if only the kitchen and I could be friends.

You inspire me. In answer to the question of the day: When I can score enough local tomatoes (and by enough I mean 5-plus pounds) at a good price, I make homemade tomato sauce and freeze it. It's a recipe I got from my aunt, and it's great tossed with pasta as is, or it can be jazzed up with peppers, mushroom, sausage etc for a more deluxe pasta sauce. It can also be used in recipes that call for prepared tomato sauce. I just used my last jar from last year recently. Too sad. Good thing tomato season is rapidly approaching!
