RE: Substitutions for Canned Tomatoes
I have been able to find tomatoes in jars lately. Look in the health food type stores. You should be able to find them. They taste better and you don't have to worry about BPA in the can lining. (Bisphenol A) BPA can cause cancer.

Tomatoe puree is better than sauce as it is the same as what you would get if you put them in the blender. You'll probably have to try a couple of "practice" dishes to adjust quantity and seasonings to taste. Good luck!

Yes you can use tomato sauce...Do the kids like pizza/ Spaghetti - O's or canned ravioli? They have tomato sauce/paste in them. Good luck .GG Vi

v8 juice, tomato paste, tomato sauce, vegetable broth could all be used. Chicken or beef broth will give a different taste.

RE: Substitutions for Canned Tomatoes
I don't like tomatoes either. I take all tomatoes put them in the blender. I don't like the texture of tomatoes but once they are in the blender, they are okay. I even do this to tomatoes before I can them. Hope this helps. Grace

You could use tomato juice or V8 Juice would have lots of flavor and vegetable value in. If tomatoes are cheaper, put them in the blender so there are no lumps.

RE: Substitutions for Canned Tomatoes
Tomato juice works great for stew and soups or mix tomato juice with some paste? I hate lumps of tomato too! But I love tomato flavored anything. I always substitute. If you want some veggie taste added too, add some V-8 juice.

RE: Substitutions for Canned Tomatoes
I think it would be fine to do that. You would have the tomato taste without the chunks of tomato. Good luck!

You can either use tomato sauce or tomato puree which do not contain the lumps of tomatoes which your children probably don't like.
I make my own homemade spaghetti sauce out of tomato puree, then add all the spices.
