Late August is the perfect time to talk tomatoes. They are just blooming with juicy sweetness. The heirloom variety is even better. This recipe roundup takes you from cocktails to dessert. Enjoy this taste of summer.
Tomatillo Bloody Mary
Let's cheers to the weekend and start with a cocktail, shall we? No bland, prepared packaged bloody Mary mix here. This recipe is made from scratch, with fresh, peak-of-summer ingredients.
Goat Cheese & Heirloom Tomato Tart
This recipe is summer in a tart shell.The crust is is a parmesean shortcrust. Sounds fabulous!
If we eat with our eyes first, I am happily stuffed already. This recipe features minimum fuss with maximum flavors!
Heirloom Tomato & Pesto Pan Pizza
I will take an heirloom tomato any way I can get one. We are lovers of homemade pan pizzas in our home. This recipe with my from scratch pesto will be made soon.
Tomato Confit with Burrata
A wonderful appetizer when served on crusty bread!
Before I got off all prepared foods, I loved the brand that Whole Foods sold. Haven't thought about tabbouleh lately until now. Think I will try this recipe. It's pretty healthy, too!
Such a pretty pasta! What dish isn’t made better with the addition of a creamy ricotta + fresh burrata? YUM! Worth the carbs I am sure.
I love adding a twist to a classic recipe. Everything is tied together with a tangy white Balsamic dressing.
Tomato Peach Ginger Jam
The perfect summer condiment. Heather uses it on top of fish, on charcuterie boards, and even on burgers. The flavors are sweet, savory, and complex.
Roasted Tomato Gazpacho
One of my favorites, and certainly a summer staple. I made gazpacho for company last week. I really didn't follow a recipe but looked at several. My texture resembled this. I also served it with shrimp. It was beyond delicious, if I say so myself. But roasting the tomatoes was key!
Everything Bacon Tomato Grilled Cheese
This looks like the ultimate grilled cheese. I haven't had one in over 25 years, but this looks yummy enough to break that record. What say you, "Mr. Shop This?"
Tomatoes for dessert? If you really want to impress someone this summer, make this!
Here's another tart recipe. This time it is done with ricotta. This is really a showstopper. Especially lovely for brunch.
