Meatless Monday and Roasted Romas

Holy Hot....August is here! Looking around the garden on Meatless Monday....

• Few Blackberries malingering....
• Romas have been awesome, but are starting to poop out...
• Look at these guys tho...new Beans are up...Limas, green, and fordhook to renew nitrogen where tomatoes were. Oh, and for eating too!...
• Wanted to save this better bush tomato plant, but he just might not make it.
• Jalapenos are lovin' the heat!
• And Sprout is tending the herbs....Lots of Basil...August means planting in the Lettuce Garden.
• With all those tomatoes and basil, I borrowed a recipe from Alton Brown over on Food Network.
• I love this guy, such a food scientist.
• Half the Romas and place in pans...
• Lots of garlic and I always add a jalapeno to the mix.
• Topped with Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, Pepper, Herbs and left in the oven for 2.5 hours....
• Remove the skins and throw in a pot. Yes, it was messy....
• Besides freezing some, turned some of the sauce into Lasagna....Jen's secret add the spinach, basil and parm to the ricotta and layer it up with the sauce.
• Best sauce ever....Hope your Monday is a good one!
