Why Tomato Paste Belongs in Every Kitchen (and Why Tubes Beat Cans)

"We're here to share why tomato paste deserves a place in your kitchen. We also want to address the important fact that not all tomato paste is created equal, and neither are the packages it comes in. Cans have long been the default, but is it true that tubes are better suited to the way most of us cook today: using a tablespoon here, a teaspoon there?"  Comment from Martha Stewart.com

"This simple recipe uses pantry and fridge ingredients and will become your go-to for making fluffy pancakes from scratch."  Comment from Martha Stewart.com

Pancakes are one of my favorite things, but I always use Bisquick.  I'd like to make them from scratch to see if there is a difference.

Ground beef, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, biscuits, and cheese. A delicious twist to your usual sloppy joes.
