Celebrate Carnevale with Redpack‏ Tomatos and a Fun Giveaway

Don't you love comfort food during the long cold winter?  I know I do! 

Especially the savories - items like yummy snack bites, soups and and pasta with sauce. ANYTHING with sauce is always a favorite. And, just about anything made with tomatoes!  

I know, I know, there is NOTHING quite like a fresh summer garden tomato...but when they can't be had, I love the ones that I can pick up in my local supermarket...Redpack tomatoes!



Redpack tomatoes are grown in the Midwest, where true seasons positively impact flavor — with just the right angle of the sun, perfect temperature, and soil that seems made for growing tomatoes.
