Kitchen Tip Tuesdays: Freezing bananas for smoothies
Ripe bananas are easy to freeze for later! You can use frozen (thawed) bananas for baking, but my favorite use for frozen bananas is smoothies.
Tip: For easier smoothies, freeze ripe bananas in ice-cube-sized chunks on a cookie sheet. After the chunks are frozen, store in a ziplock freezer bag and use as needed for smoothies.

The trick to peeling tomatoes
Last weekend I tried both blanching the tomatoes to get the skin off and also using a food mill. Which worked better? http://thelocalcook.com/2012/08/27/canning-marathon-the-trick-to-peeling-tomatoes-is/
yum!
Have you ever made banana icecream??? Freeze bananas, puree in food processor until the texture of soft serve, eat immediately or freeze for a few minutes if too soft. First time I read about it I thought gross, baby food! But it doesn't turn to goo, it really has a perfect soft serve texture. Super yummy! (And goes really well with your blackbean brownies!) I keep a little tub in the freezer for sugar craving emergencies, just a couple bites keeps me from reaching for something I'll regret.
Banana "ice cream"
Yes, actually! I like to use frozen bananas, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Yummy!! :)

Funny story. the other week
Funny story. the other week a friend of mine made a smoothie for her husband. After taking a sip he made a face and said it tasted like lunch meat. She tasted it and it did! She had been in a frozen hot dog instead of a banana! I know, hard to understand, but she posted a picture of the frozen hotdogs on facebook, and they did look similar to bananas.
