What to make with Tomatoes

It is that time of year. Tomatoes everywhere.  We love to pick them right off the vines and make a delicious salad.  Of course you can get heirloom tomatoes at your local farmers market too.

Here is our fav salad at the moment.


  • Fresh tomatoes
  • Basil or small sliced onions
  • Red onion 
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil whisked together with 1/2 tsp lemon drizzle with a pinch of crushed thyme


Or Soup.

  • Saute Celery and onion till soft (about 15 min) in 1 cup of chicken stock and 1/4 tsp thyme
  • Add 8 cups of water
  • Add a dozen  tomatoes 
  • Cook for 20 Min.
  • Mush slightly and the skins will come off.  Remove skins
  • Blend in a food processor
  • Add 1/4 cup of cream and serve immediately
