Mini Sweet Peppers: Small yellow or orange – sweet snacking peppers with very few seeds

Tomato: Let your tomatoes ripen on the counter. Do not refrigerate until ripe. If you must refrigerate allow to return to room temperature before eating for the best flavor. Sauces, salads, sandwiches…YUM!

Garlic: Use in everything!! Well, almost everything. Roasting mellows and deepens the garlic flavor. Quick Recipe: Roast in an air fryer: foil pouch, cut off very top of garlic head to expose tops of cloves, lightly drizzle with olive oil, air fry at 390 degrees for 10-20 min. Carefully open pouch and air fry for 5 more minutes to carmelize. Use roasted garlic on bread, in hummus, added to dressings and dips.

Peppers: can be chopped, sliced, minced and frozen without blanching. Jalapeno heat comes from the seeds and membrane, remove to reduce heat, use gloves if possible. Jalapenos are excellent in cornbread. Freezing: prepare how you intend to use them. Not a fan of a lot of heat? Freeze them after tiny dicing them in a baggie making square indents for easy removal of a small chunk or ice cube tray. Frozen peppers can be used in scrambles, cassaroles, soups, breads, on pizza, in sauces, and sautes.
