Mine are coming in strong now

I’ve been eating tomato sandwiches but I may roast a bunch of them next.

Make a homemade ketchup.

I love roasted tomatoes that are really roasted and caramelized. They freeze well and can be used for pizzas, soup, sauces...

Similar for me with tomato, cucumber and finely chopped garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar and let it sit overnight to enjoy the next day.

Tomato sandwiches are a must in the summer when garden fresh tomatoes are coming in. Wheat bread toasted, nice slathering of mayo, thick slabs of tomato, salt and pepper for the win.

Saw someone post earlier that they roasted them in bacon fat and oregano and seasonings. Then stewed some summer squash and zucchini and topped it with the roasted tomatoes in a casserole dish. Top with homemade seasoned breadcrumbs and parm and bake.

I fed raccoons.

They waited until they were almost ripe then wiped us out overnight.

I cut a bunch of my cherry tomatoes in half on friday and dried them in the oven at 225 for 3 hours. I sauteed some diced zucchini then tossed the tomatoes in with s$p, parm, and a little parsley. I usually have them with moz and balsamic vinegar for a late snack. The creoles, cherokee purples, and brandywines normally get eaten like apples.

Never thought to put garlic in there, I'll try it this weekend. In addition to the vinegar/oil and spices, I also add lemon thyme from the garden

I love it fixed that way but it's not an ideal situation if you need to be close to folks with all that garlic.

I have a plant but it's the yield is tiny and this hybrid seed was much smaller than expected. They are delicious though. I was hoping to make a pasta sauce but I've just been slicing them for bagels and eating them like a caprese salad.

Tomato pie
Pie crust on the bottom
Sliced and drained tomatoes, layered with salt/pepper and basil in between each layer.
Top with shredded cheese/Mayo combination. I’ve also used a spicy goat cheese that was delicious.

Bake at 350 for 20-30, until cheese is browned.

I recently had a tomato bacon dip and it was amazing. I am not sure what recipe they used but it had to be something like this:

People who can successfully grow tomatoes have obviously made a pact with Satan.

Unfortunately, it’s just something a chef posted on her IG page that she made at home. But if you have IG, here’s the link:
