Summer Garden
What would you do with a basket full of fresh tomatoes from the garden? Salsa, tomato sauce, pizza, sandwich, salad, juice? There are so many delicious meals that can be whipped up in a matter of a few minutes with fresh juicy fruit, yes, fruit, from you vegetable garden.
Yesterday, I began by making a delicious pizza made with a half piece of Focaccia from Albertson’s deli. I bought fresh ground turkey, fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, a little deli ham, pineapple, fresh sliced tomatoes, a jar of marinera sauce (not fresh, but still very good), Parmigiano-Reggiano and fresh basil. All these delicious ingredients ended up on our pizza. It was so delish, that I invited my sister and brother-in-law over for an encore, today.
While awaiting their arrival, I cut up a bowl of tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, brown onions, home-grown Serrano chiles, hot yellow chile peppers and a little garlic salt. Now we’re ready for chips and salsa for tomorrow’s snack.
I love growing many varieties of tomatoes just for fun, but my favorite is Goliath, from Totally Tomato website. I grow all my tomatoes from seed, as well as many other fruit and veggies. There’s nothing quite like making a salad and chopping up everything you can think of from the garden. For more info, please visit: www.JoanDayImages.com
