Chipotle Black Bean Salsa by Kerri Bishop

This is a very yummy and healthful salsa. It is low in calories, low in fat, and the beans add protein.

Slow-Roasted Tomatoes by Steve Iler

These are great chopped as a main ingredient for bruschetta. Use them roughly cut in a simple pasta with sliced olives. Toss them in salads. Lot's of options here. When they're cool, I just put the tomatoes in jars and store them in the refrigerator. They'll keep about three months, although I can't see them lasting that long.

Pico De gallo by Debbie

This is a mild salsa. Keep in mind you can adjust this and make it hotter to suit you. In my twenties, I had no problem eating jalapeno peppers whole.

Ketchup Recipe by David St. John

Regular ketchup is chock full of sugar, salt, preservatives and all sorts of things you probably don't want to think much about. Low Sugar and Low Salt ketchups cost $3 for a small bottle. With this recipe you can make 12 ounces for less than 50¢. It tastes best after the seasonings have a chance to blend, but it can be used right…

Ricotta-Portabella Stuffed Tomatoes by Ginny

A delicious savory appetizer...vine-ripened tomatoes are best for this recipe.

Sun-Dried Tomato Spread by A.L. Wiebe

This is an extremely tasty appetizer spread, that I borrowed from Terry Thomson's "Cajun and Creole Cooking" book. I blatantly copied this, as I couldn't figure out what I would do to improve on the flavors here. Indeed, why would I? If it ain't broke...why fix it? Having said that, though, this is not to say that you couldn't play…
