SPAGHETTI SAUCE MAKING MADE EASY?

Last year several of the ladies shared with me a SPAGHETTI SAUCE recipe–makes about 5-6 quarts. I’m not a big fan of canned sauces…I prefer mine fresher and will often just can the tomatoes–BUT this recipe is simply dynamic! It is just the right blend and the right proportions. Last weekend I decided to make the recipe using the Heirloom Brandywine tomatoes…OMG…no sugar needed! Naturally sweet with no acid bite–so I thought…why not share this with others??

So…IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE BEST EVER SPAGHETTI SAUCE RECIPE WITH THE FARMER’S FRESH TOMATOES, BELLS, ONIONS, AND PARSLEY shoot me an email and we can put it together for you.

Heirloom Tomatoes Bundle–Meaty Green Bells, Yellow or White Onions, fresh Parsley and a Pinch of Thyme with RECIPE…$40

Celebrity/Marianna Tomatoes Bundle–same as above but with a mix of Celebrity and the paste tomatoes for a chunkier sauce…$35

If you want it for this weekend order it today–Order it tomorrow and we’ll have it for you next weekend.

Update from the Farm–Week 8

We are into the 8th week of Harvest, the Fifth FRUIT SHARE is upcoming, and we’re offering MANY GOOD FOOD OPTIONS for healthy living–

This week’s SHARE offers a special introduction of our CARROTS, CELERY, POTATOES, and ONIONS all bagged together with our Mulligan Stew recipe! The proportions may not be 100% accurate–bag limits how much onion you can add. Second introduction is to our AVATAR CANTALOUPE and PRIMO (the one they sell at the store)–both are EXCELLENT!

5th FRUIT SHARE can be picked up MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16th, 4:30 to 6:30. This week’s feature is all ORGANIC from GOOD EARTH MARKET in Billings. Included will be the ADD4WEEKS of peaches and plums for those 12 that purchased that option–
