Fresh Tomato Soup

I had been wanting to try to make some fresh tomato soup for a while now. Not sure why, but I just figured it would be something hard to make. But , it actually isn;t and it uses up your fresh tomatoes from the garden. This recipe for  Fresh Tomato Soup is the one I tried last night. Super easy and super yummy. Better than canned and healthier.Not all of that salt, additives, and preservatives.

Stay Cool!

My hubby is always finding some really cool things at truck stops. This past week he got a few of these, BodyCool Neck Buddys .These are so neat. You put them in cool water for about 30 minutes and then can wrap around your neck to keep cool. Really a good idea for off-grid, hiking, camping, and yard work. A real good use for these is for minor sprains and even headaches. They are non-toxic and are reusable for years. No refrigeration needed for this either. Find a cool stream while camping, hiking, biking , etc and cool down.
