VIDEO: What I'm Planting in My Fall Garden (And Two Important Life Lessons) | VLOG | Roots and Refuge


My Just Winging It Pasta Sauce:

2 T Olive Oil
2 Medium Onions
6 Cloves Garlic Minced
1 T. Oregano
2 T. Basil
1 T. Marjoram
1/2 T. Red pepper flakes
1 T. Thyme
1/4 C. Red Wine
5 lbs. tomatoes (peeled)
1 T. Tomato Paste (optional)

Sautee diced onion in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and stir. Cook about 2 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant. Add all seasonings and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add red wine and scrape the pan. Add Tomatoes. Cook on Medium-Low heat until liquid reduced significantly. I don’t do anything extra to break the tomatoes down but you could use an immersion blender if you prefer a more thin sauce. The amount of salt you use will vary greatly depending on the acid level of your tomatoes. Start at a teaspoon and salt to taste. You can add a tablespoon of tomato paste if you would like to intensify the tomato flavor.

  1. Hey Jess – I'm giving the Sakurajima Radish a try this fall/winter…hoping that I can get a way with starting a little late in California. Out of the 5 seeds I planted, 3 of them are growing. I do everything via containers since we don't own the property. I am so-so in terms of liking radishes, however trying to grow a monster one is enticing.

  2. FYI- we put up about 200lbs of tomatoes every summer. If you rough chop them into the ziplock, they will lay flat & you can double the volume in your freezers.

  3. yes please, companion planting for fall plantings. If you've made it already, can you give me the link please? So looking forward to your recipes. Will definitely try roasting radishes. Thank you for sharing.

  4. I just cant even follow recipes! they upset me!!!!!!!!!!! ahahahahahaha.. im totally a throw it all together with whatever we have and season to taste… i love experimenting with different herbs and spices! I dont even measure ahahahah.. i just eye ball it all and add more if need be. <3

  5. Try gently frying chopped swiss chard in olive oil add salt to your liking, while that sweats down and releases its juices add 1/2 cup water for it to steam with lid on when soft, squeeze 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice over and serve warm with a splash of oive oil. It tastes amazing. You can cook spinach like that too. Im Greek and thats how i make both of them. Would love to see you try it! Xx
