Spring Tomatoes and Peppers

Here are our tomatoes growing in the basement.

Luckily when we started on this meal delivery endeavor, there was still some time left at the farmer's market. So we took our first check and bought up as many plum tomatoes and peppers from Blue Moon Farm to ensure we could have ingredients for good food through this long winter!

It was easy, at least for those with excess freezer space. Buy plum tomatoes, place in zip lock, place in freezer, wait six months, remove from freezer, thaw- the skins come right off- cut and serve how you would like. Repeat for peppers!
Thankfully it is spring and new foods are on there way. Broccoli, Bok Choi, garlic greens and the most anticipated at this household... ASPARAGUS! this is the first year that our patch will be harvested and we are checking it everyday, the first of the just popped up on Saturday. And here they are first thing this morning.
