If you make your pasta sauce from scratch like I do, I found the best way to deseed the tomatoes after you flash boil and peel them is to slice them in half and use a grapefruit spoon to cut and scoop them out! :D

Yep, pasta for dinner, along with homemade bruschetta! YUM!

::FOOD PORN:: Hot Bean Dip!!!

I used green onion from my garden, I used 2, 8oz bags of cheddar/pepper jack. One in and one on top. I topped with various peppers of various heats from my garden on top. Also, I make my own taco seasoning...

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp paprika

1 1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp coarse black pepper

Blend together in mortar and pestal or food processor and use as you normally would use the packet taco seasoning. I make taco cheese out of it too. I shred my cheese and put it in a ziplock and sprinkling some in then shake.

Transfer the mixture to an 8x12 inch baking dish. Top with remaining Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
