now i love to garden an currently grow tomatoes and green bell peppers. what my question is, is what can i make that is easy an not a lot of money an other ingredients can i make with those that is a good yummy food to eat because im getting tired of salsa... so i want to make food with my veggies and not spend a lot on other stuff to go with it to make a great food to eat. i need some food help?
 
My fav... Stuffed Bell Peppers..
Cut the stem end off.....clean out the seed cavity..
Then fill with a mix of chopped tomatoes, hamburger or sausage, sweet corn, onion, (rice too, if you like) and your favorite seasoning. I like McCormick's Cajun Seasoning myself. Top off each pepper then with bread stuffing (don't use the seasoning packet).

I would fry the meat and onion together, BEFORE making the filler mix, and maybe cook the rice to..or use minute rice if you like.
Bake them in a baking dish (upright) till the peppers are of the desired tender consistency, (not mushy or burnt).

You could also chop up some peppers....and still use the above ingredients...and bake it loosely in a baking dish..till done. I like this over whipped potatoes too...kinda like a casserole...and tasty...and filling too.
 
How about a delicious home made tomato soup?
Here is how I make it and it is a hit every time.
In a pot add some olive oil and a little butter
2 onions sliced and 1 clove garlic chopped
Saute for a few min. until transparent
Use ripe tomato's,run them under hot water and remove the skin
Grate them and add to the onions
Season with salt pepper and 1 tsp sugar
Use some chicken base and add some water
Cook for a while and puree with a hand blender
Strain if the seeds bother you and continue cooking until the desired consistency. Continue stirring at this point.
Serve with chopped basil and good bread.
 
You could make stuffed peppers. You would have to modify the recipe a bit but it would not take many more things to make it. Search for stuffed bell peppers online. You will find many that only use some ground beef and an onion, as for the tomatoes just sauce yours and add them in place of the tom. soup. Some call for rice as well.
