It's now or never, for taking advantage of Summer's bounty of fresh tomatoes. After September, good tomatoes are hard to find for some of us. While writing this post I learned that I have been storing mine all wrong. Click HERE to see if you are guilty, as well. Scroll through this post and then head to the farmers market, for your own terrific tomatoes. Enjoy!
HERE: 17 Summer Recipes To Make
This Weekend
Grilled Bloody Mary
Grilled Bloody Marys, oh yum! Grilled tomatoes, chiles, citrus, and Hangar 1 Vodka make for a delightfully savory Bloody Mary you're sure to love all year long.
Caramelized Corn and Tomato
Tarte Tatin
Use up that Summer produce with this simple but beautiful recipe. As Tieghan states, "It’s not a salad, a pizza, or another pasta dish. Nope, it’s something different and fun."
Caprese Grilled Cheese
So I know a certain "Mr. Shop This" who will love this. That pesto sauce will make all of the difference. A very grown up grilled cheese!
Bruschetta Chicken
I think we all can use another chicken recipe in our repertoire. For this dish you marinate the chicken, sear the chicken, cover the chicken with one little piece of cheese, bake it, and top it with the bruschetta and balsamic glaze. And there you have a great warm weather dish.
Heirloom Tomato Pesto Pan Pizza
This pizza puts other's to shame. Just use your favorite homemade pizza dough recipe or like me, get Whole Food's pizza dough. It's great. This just might happen this weekend at my home!
Spaghettini With Roasted Tomatoes, Fresh Basil, and Toasted Garlic Breadcrumbs
You will never want to buy a jar of sauce again.
This fresh dish is just "bursting" with flavor.
Summer Tomato Salad With Burrata And Kalamata Olives
Perfect for a one last Summer celebration. It just doesn't get any more fresh than this dish.
Late Summer Tomato & Shrimp Risotto
This recipe has my name all over it. I made myself a lobster risotto on my birthday this year. It was fabulous but took patience. Worth it. A great recipe to make for transitioning from Summer to Fall.
Chef’n Hullster Tomato Corer
I am not very good at removing that core. This would make a cleaner slice for sure. It's less than $10.
Margherita Pizza Dip
This is not any ordinary cheese dip. It's made with Burrata. The cheese doesn't stop there, though it could for me. Add grilled bread, and you have an appetizer that everyone will love!
Roasted Stuffed Heirloom Tomatoes
Roasted with a goat cheese and creme fraiche mixture, this is a beautiful Summer side!
Tomato Basil Granita With Vanilla
Ice Cream
And though it may not sound appealing, it certainly looks fabulous! This time of year, tomatoes are very sweet,
so it does make sense.
Sun Dried Tomato & Basil Pinwheels
This recipe is simple, requiring just 8 ingredients and 15 minutes to prepare! Just stir filling ingredients, spread into a tortilla, roll and slice! Serve it to a crowd or elevate your child's
school lunch.
Classic Gazpacho
Daniel Boulud's recipe is relatively straight forward, a little bit of work, but so worth it! This traditional gazpacho is hearty, healthy, and wonderfully refreshing
Mozzarella and Tomato Caprese Flatbread
For me, a flatbread crust always seems lighter and crispier than a pizza crust. With the drizzle of Balsamic, it is a fab appetizer for this time of year.
KAI for Williams Sonoma Tomato Knife
Get double duty for half the price. "The serrated blade cuts neat slices of tomato without squashing; it's also a great choice for slicing and serving cheese." Now on sale for less than $10
Roast Tomatoes With Raisins & Feta
A recipe by Jordan Theodoros from the Goolwa, South Australia restaurant Aquacaf. This rustic recipe is simple, but all about reducing the liquid.
