Zesty Tomato Caponata – Bonus recipe!

This is a bonus recipe from August Guest Blogger, Valerie Catullo, “Growing up, wastefulness was considered the eighth deadly sin. Never throw out something you can use again or in a new and different way. While making the Lemony Tomato Basil Soup I just couldn’t bring myself to throw away the leftover mushy tomato-root veggie mixture. After a few experiments I came up with this zesty caponata that mirrors the flavors in the soup – only now in a spread! Put it on sandwiches, over fish, or our personal favorite – as a sauce over zucchini noodles. Enjoy!”

Banana Nut Bread

I don’t even like bananas but I love this recipe.  Have some bananas that you just couldn’t use up fast enough, going brown and soft?  Then don’t waste them, revamp them into this soft yummy banana nut bread.  But you don’t have any walnuts around the house?  No worries you can always omit the nuts.
