But they aren't canned!!!

3 more sleeps and I will be on holidays for a week. Then I promise...solemnly swear up and down...that I will start cooking interesting foods and blogging. I have started cooking again this week, but nothing extravagant enough to make a difference.

We all know S's aversion to canned tomatoes, cooked peas or anything that will "gush" into his mouth when bitten into. I thought I was in the clear when I chose a pasta recipe that called for lightly cooked fresh tomatoes - boy was I wrong. He ate everything BUT the tomatoes. I personally thought the blend of capers, garlic, tuna and tomatoes was great! This is the kind of pasta dish that you can throw together with a few pantry staples and have dinner on the table in the time it takes to boil your pasta.

**Note I did not blanch or peel the tomatoes. I just seeded them and then threw them in the pan to saute for a few minutes.**


You can find the recipe HERE.

  2. Maybe it's a guy thing. Canned tomatoes not my thing either... better to make a marinara sauce with em.

  4. My husband doesn't hate fresh tomatoes, but they need to be peeled or he'll start complaining endlessly.
    For me, this is a great and simple combination.

  5. Dajana - I don't think peeling them will even help a bit in our house.

  6. Only 3 more sleeps! How exciting! My four year old asked how long it is until Christmas. Saying 4 months did not mean anything to him. When we said 120 sleeps, he seemed to realize it was a while until Christmas.

    Thanks for sticking with me and for your comments. I have come to love camping. The part I hate the most though is doing the dishes (and going outside at night to go to the bathroom!)

  7. I'm in my 30's and still measure by sleeps Joie! Most hated thing about camping...I always pee on my foot - it ruins the whole experience.
