We all know you can make bread from bananas, and who doesn’t like a succulent pumpkin pie? But how many people know you can make cake with tomato sauce?!
When moving season comes, somehow I always end up with a lot of cans of tomato sauce (and diced tomatoes), pumpkin, and of course tons of frozen over-ripe bananas. I do believe this time of year is my children’s favorite because it means mom is going to back some yummy treats. Among their favorite are what you see featured here. Banana bread, pumpkin oatmeal bars, pumpkin pie, and tomato cake.
Tomato cake, friends… give it a try. I am a bit surprised, but my kids actually love it even without the icing. Throw some ultra-sweet cream cheese icing on the top and the cake almost tastes like a kind of salty carrot cake! Here is the recipe I used: https://www.stetted.com/tomato-cake/
Also not featured is easy tomato soup… just two cans of tomato sauce, one can of diced tomatoes, a little garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes. I like to add 1/4 cup of half and half. And, voila! Better than Campbell’s tomato soup =)
Eating is an adventure when you move a lot! Perhaps it inspires someone else to enjoy some pumpkin, banana, and tomato!
