Hey everyone! 🌟 Looking to add some extra crunch and flavor to your pasta dishes? Try making your own toasted seeds pasta topping! It’s super easy and adds a delicious touch to any pasta dish. Here’s a quick recipe:

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp bragg’s liquid aminos

Instructions:
1. In a dry skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they start to pop and become golden brown. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

2. Once the seeds are toasted, drizzle the brags over them and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another 1-2 minutes until completely dry.

3. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the toasted seeds to a bowl or jar.

Give it a try and elevate your pasta game with this simple and tasty topping! 🍝✨ #PastaTopping #ToastedSeeds #CookingTips #veganfoodshare #veganrecipes #plantbasedfood #thezerowastefamily

My favorite ways to use green tomatoes (aka unripe tomatoes) are as quick pickles for salad, served with BBQ, and on sandwiches.

QUICK PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES
· 2 Pounds of Green Tomatoes, sliced

· 1 cup distilled vinegar

· 1 ½ cups water

· 1 cup sugar

· ½ tbsp pickling salt

· 1 inch ginger (optional)

· 1 tbsp yellow mustard seeds

· 2 tbsp fresh dill, minced

Start by washing hands and disinfecting mason jars. Disinfect the jars by washing them with warm water and soap and placing jars and lids in an oven on the lowest heat for 10 minutes or until the jars are hot.

Bring a saucepan of water, sugar, salt, and vinegar to a boil. Stir often to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, remove from heat.

Slice tomatoes and ginger.

Carefully remove jars from the oven. Layer sliced tomatoes, mustard seeds, dill, and ginger in the jars. Pour the warm pickling liquid over tomatoes until filled to the top. Screw the lids on immediately. Set aside to cool and keep in the fridge. Will last for about a month.
