tomatoes

Warm spices flavor the rice, lentils, pasta, and chickpeas in this traditional Egyptian dish. It makes A LOT.

In this traditional Cretan recipe, the zucchini is stuffed with garlic and then oven-roasted with tomatoes, parsley, and olive oil. This delicious recipe is simple to make.

The chickpeas get a little crispy and they’re wonderful.

A very hearty stew with mostly pantry items.

This is pretty damn close to the takeout version. Make it in the pressure cooker if you’re short on time.

Basic sauce from crushed tomatoes. Never pay extra for jarred marinara again.

Eggy yumminess.

These beans were a Christmas gift to me and they are so fun to cook up! They look even bigger than a lima bean but taste nothing like one.

One summer in Collinsville the garden was overflowing with cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, so we ate this salad for lunch every other day.

Kinda like mexican spaghetti, this dish is a special treat.
