Drained fire roasted tomatoes? Does that mean you're not doing the roasting yourself? Why all the pre-made mise en place? Psssht

Hi Penny- Than you for your thoughts. The goal is the help people make quick meals from their pantry ...use what they have in less time. Roasting your own tomatoes certainly would be best, but if you're home from work with 4 hungry folks looking at you...sometimes you have to go the pantry!
