Day 3: Save it - Tomato Paste

One of my biggest pet peeves - even before this money saving revolution is wasting food.  With the cost of groceries plus the cost of gas to get to the grocery store, it can add up quick.  So we make a valliant effort not to throw anything (or realistically very minimal) away.  One thing I always end up wasting is tomato paste, because recipes only seem to call for 1 or 2 tbsp., and then what to do with the rest???

So, I did a little bit of research and found that you can indeed save it! Woo-Hoo!! So here's what you need to do: Measure out 1 tbsp. paste each onto a plate covered in parchment paper till can is empty.  Place in the freezer overnight.   

And the next morning mounds will be frozen.  Place into freezer bag and save for next time :)

YEAH! I love when I can save food (and a little "green" for my "picket fence" fund)
