Freezing Tomatoes -A How To
How to freeze tomatoes from your garden:
1. Harvest tomatoes at peak ripeness. I like a round, red variety best for this.
2. Wash well.
3. Remove green tops.
4. Dice into 1/4 inch cubes.
5. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
6. Spread the tomatoes over the paper in a single layer.
7. Place in the freezer until frozen solid.
8. Label a zip-top freezer bag with Tomatoes and the date.
9. Remove cookie sheet from the freezer.
10. Working quickly, transfer the tomatoes from the sheet to the bag.
11. Seal the bag, pressing out all the air, and place in the freezer.
12. Repeat as many times as desired. You can put fresh batches in the
same bag if you don’t fill it the first time around.
13. Use by removing as many cubes as you want and replacing the bag in
the freezer.
Use in recipes that call for heating the tomatoes.
This recipe is written by LizbethsGarden. You can find more from her on her blog. She can also be found on Etsy and on Facebook.

Sweet Vegan and Expressions Floral -Two shops, One Incredible Woman
How’d you get started on Etsy? 
I don’t remember how I heard about it , but I am a florist and I wanted another outlet to sell my floral arrangements and bridal bouquets. I needed a bigger audience than the small town I live in. I thought it was such an awesome idea to have a site where things were handmade with love.
What was your inspiration for your shop?
I started with ExpressionsFloral because I use to own my own floral shop. However, I started Sweet Vegan because I saw a need for it in myself and in others… Most people I know think that Vegan food is bland and tasteless and I wanted to help change that stigma. I have tried store bought items and have been disappointed too many times by lack of taste and dryness. I wanted to make food that everyone can enjoy and show people that you can have great tasting food and not know it’s vegan. It shouldn’t be a word you have to shy from. I have lots of awesome recipes that have great flavor, I enjoy baking and I needed a new outlet for my creativity. So I created a store where I could do all that, bake foods that are made with organic, minimally processed ingredients that taste awesome and anyone can enjoy!
What’s your favorite shop item and why?Oh that is a hard one, because I love sweets! However I would have to say that my Lemon Tea Cake Wookies are my favorite. The cookies themselves have a unique flavor which comes from the EVOO and of course everything is better with cream cheese frosting 😀
How do you unwind when you’re not creating?
I sit down with a good book or snuggle down with my sweetie and watch a movie.
What’s your favorite kind of cupcake?Tirimisu 🙂
What pushes you to want to create something?
I don’t talk a lot, I listen and observe. Through that I get ideas and my brain starts mashing them into unique combinations and that is what makes me want to create .
What’s your fantasy job?
I would love to work in Las Vegas, LA, NY and do event planning and/or Hotel floral designing!
Do you have a secret guilty pleasure?
Etsy…well I guess it’s not secret anymore!
List 3 things you are so obsessed with it is torture to ever say no to.
Hats, books and movies, purses
Do you have a favorite author? When you read, do you use a proper bookmark, bend the page, or grab anything handy to mark your place?Favorite author is tough because my taste varies, but here a few that I like to read over and over again: Jane Austin, D. H. Lawrence, Wilkie Collins, Leo Tolstoy, Dan Brown, Jean Auel and Ursula La Guin. I use whatever is handy at the time to mark my place 🙂
What is your best childhood memory?
Camping. Dad would come home from work on Friday and say “load up” we’d throw some things together and off we would go to the coast. Sand, water and lots of campfire fun!
