Cooking Out Of The Box

It’s that time of the year - the time we can only dream about in January - Fresh Tomato Season!

 I can never grow tired of tomatoes in season.  There are so many things to do with them that they never grow boring.  I have to admit, merely sliced with salt and pepper never bores me with tomatoes.  Here’s a few things that we’ve done recently… but there will be much more to come!

The first BLT is always special.  We make our BLTs with a twist, focusing on maximum flavor by adding goat cheese, onions and arugula.  Nothing tastes like summe like this BLT does.

A nice Caprese Salad just can not be beat.  It’s simple, with only fresh mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, olive oil, balsalmic vinegar, and basil.  Fresh basil from the garden makes it even better.

And this year we added something new to our repetroire.  Grilled Pizza with olive oil, tomato, prosuitto, mozzarella and basil.  The grill adds a terrific smokiness that you can’t get out of an oven.
