Join us 
This week we are running another round of #freezertolunchbox 5 day challenge. This edition is all about hidden veggies. Yesterday we cooked our 12 Veggie Hidden Pizza Wheels. The tomato paste we made is so delicious I just had to share it on the blog this week. If you missed the challenge and want to know when another is running sign up to our notification mailing list!
This tomato paste is delicious and jam packed full of veggies – 10 in fact! This will make a large amount so its perfect to freeze and keep handy for the next pizza night and when tomato paste or pizza sauce is needed. Its a great way to add some additional veggie to the meal.
Don’t forget to hang out with TRTLMT in all the cool places!
