Drastically Reduce Your Pantry Clutter :: THRIVE Tomato Powder Recipes

First, let me confess something... I am a pizza addict   I make it almost weekly.  But in this house, when we have pizza night, we have (jutting out chest and raising nose)...homemade pizza dough slathered in melted butter & garlic, homemade marinara sauce, extra extra cheese & tons of veggies on top.  I set the bar high only because I LOVE PIZZA so much!

THRIVE's Tomato Powder was probably the first product review I read online and though I'm not typically a tomato product connoisseur, I was quite intrigued.  For pete's sake... I have about 2 feet of pantry space just for tomato products:  Tomato Sauce, Marinara Sauce, Tomato Soup, Tomato Paste, Tomato Juice...  Seriously, does anyone else have a disproportionate of pantry space allocated for tomato?

THRIVE's Tomato Powder does not contain any salt!  That's great if you're trying to reduce your sodium... however these recipes will taste slightly different from store bought unless you add a little salt!  I recommend 1/2 tsp salt for every 1/2 cup of Tomato Powder.

The Tomato Powder thickens up as it sits.  To get a nice, thick consistency from the get-go, mix the Tomato Powder with hot water.

I haven't made all of these recipes...yet, but I plan to print this post and have it handy for the next time I need a tomato product!  These delicious recipes are used with permission from YourOwnHomeStore.com & WhyWeThrive.com
