Fab Frugal Friday: Easy! Healthy! Yummy! Sun-Dried Tomato Spread Recipe

January 15, 2010 in Appetizers, Frugal Tips, Healthy Fare, Vegan Recipes, Vegetarian Entrees

This recipe proves my theory that any recipe can be made delicious by adding sun dried tomatoes. Even a tofu recipe!

Ok, ok, we know you’ve always walked by that block of white stuff stashed in the corner of the produce department and thought “I should eat tofu,” but you never knew what to do with the stuff. Well, we here at FFF have a solution: Sun Dried Tomato Spread made with THREE ingredients: 16 ounces extra firm tofu; 1 jar (8 ounce) sun dried tomatoes in oil; and garlic powder. That’s it! (You can, of course add S & P and a little diced parsley to make it look pretty, but those are entirely optional.)

Fab Frugal Friday: Slow Roasted Tomatoes

September 18, 2009 in Frugal Tips

I love to buy those jars of sun-dried tomatoes in oil – they are so incredibly handy to have in the pantry.  But they are spendy.

Thanks to the fact that my garden is exploding right now with  huge delicious tomatoes, I decided to see if I could make my own version of sun-dried tomatoes by slow roasting them in a warm oven.

I cut them in half, sprayed them with a little oil and put them in the oven. I set my oven on Convection Bake at 225 degrees. I checked them every hour or so, and turned them over once. Now I’m going to throw them in a zip lock bag, and in February when it’s icy outside, open them up, soften them in some olive oil and let my taste buds remember the summer bounty!!!
