Celebrate Tomato Day on April 6 with Some of My Favorite Recipes

Tomatoes can be used in almost any dish whether it is sweet or savory. With their juicy and tangy flavor, I use them in many of my recipes.

Just a pan of roasted tomatoes can make a wonderful side dish for any meal. I like to add some garlic, salt, and pepper for a bit of extra flavor.

Instant Pot Tomato Soup

Tomato soup is one of my favorite childhood comfort meals. Thanks to my instant pot, I can make it in less than 30 minutes from scratch. I roast the tomatoes for extra flavor.

IP Spaghetti Sauce

Another thing I like to make in my instant pot with tomatoes is spaghetti sauce. With fresh garlic, brown sugar, Italian sausage, tomatoes, and my favorite herbs and spices, this is mouthwatering.

Best Classic Chili

I need plenty of tomatoes to make enough tomato sauce for my classic chili. I also use tomato paste and crushed tomatoes so this recipe is packed with the red fruit. My homemade chili is saucy, spicy, and a bit sweet.

Easy Homemade Lasagna

My favorite pasta meal, homemade lasagna is one of my weaknesses. Made with lots of tangy tomato sauce, layers of gooey cheese, tender noodles, and lots of beef, its so easy.
