Got tomatoes?

Gather tomatoes from your garden, the farmer’s market, or just the grocery store and make them a part of any meal–from the super simple to the elegantly gourmet. You’ll find all types of recipes here, as well as ideas for preserving tomatoes to enjoy long into the winter.

Wow, what an amazing collection of recipes. Thank you so much for sharing a few of my family’s favorites. I’ve pinned this so I can refer back to it over and over. And, I’ll be sharing it with my FB followers as well. Thanks again! xo

Hi Elsie,
What a fabulous roundup of recipes using tomatoes! I can’t wait to explore them further. Today I shared “What’s Cooking? Grilled Fennel”. Thanks for hosting. All the best, Deborah
All your missing is a couple down home specialties…
The “Mater Sandwich” good on bread or toast, with cheese or without, a touch of mayo or a full fledged summer sandwich,adding red onions, cucumbers, peppers, whatever your garden grows 🙂
… 2nd Juicy ripe slicing tomatoes with milk gravy, Good Mornin Ozarks!!
… and my favorite just eat it like an apple, with maybe a dash of salt 🙂 now that is the best way to eat a good tomato !!
You’re making my mouth water! Can you tell me more about the tomatoes and gravy? So it’s just gravy with sliced tomatoes? Over biscuits?
I’ve been eating a plain tomato almost every day for a week–you’re right, nothing like it!
Elsie, I am elated by this incredible collection of tomato recipes shared by real food bloggers that I know and love from Bloggers Alliance! Thank you so much for sharing at Green Thumb Thursday. I will be featuring this post next week, sharing on my social media, and pinning to several of my boards.
Aww, thank you so much for sharing! Those BA peeps have some good stuff(:
