Well, as previously discussed, we have an abundance of fresh tomatoes right now. I thought I'd share some things I've made lately using our own produce.
Have you ever bought these?
They are frozen lightly breaded chicken tenderloins. They're delicious! We eat them all the time, and this is one of my favorite iterations. It's a fresh tossed salad, with sliced chicken on top and Caesar dressing. I like to shred my own cheddar cheese, which I think adds to the yumminess. Delicious!
Tonight, we had pasta with homemade tomato sauce and tossed salad. This is one of those meals I can actually count on the kids eating.
Mason won't touch the sauce, though. He must come by it honestly - when I was little, I would never eat spaghetti sauce. My mom always made me plain buttered noodles. Like mother, like son!
You could make this healthier with whole wheat pasta, I suppose. But isn't it pretty?
We've also had BLTs, tomato and cucumber salad, tomato and cheese sandwiches, and just plain tomatoes. And the vines are still loaded. I am open to your tomato suggestions...

Pass the tomatoes, please

We love our home canned pizza sauce! I'd be happy to share the recipe.
You could try roasted tomatoes --
halve the tomato, scrape out the seeds, add basil and parsley(finely chopped up together), minced garlic, olive oil, and fresh parmesean (sp?) cheese. Broil for about 8 min or so (just until the cheese is melted and the tomato is a little soft).
Oh so Yummy!
Oh, it does look beautiful! Yum! I do have a yummy recipe for polenta pizza from the Moosewood Cookbook that uses up a tomato or two. It's easy, but you have to start early in the day. Keep up the great posts and maybe I'll start cooking regularly again. Thanks!
