Tomatoes are one of my favorite summer garden vegetables. I love all varieties … red, yellow, Roma, cherry, Big Boy, etc. I could continue listing the types of tomatoes!

Thank goodness I have several Farmers Markets and vegetable stands locally. I’m especially thankful I have a generous neighbor who shares his garden abundance with me.

Why? Because I’m a complete failure in the gardening category. I’ve tried several times over the years to grow a garden. Let’s just say the result was an exercise in frustration.

Tomato Recipes

Two of my favorite tomato recipes are:

1. Roasted Tomatoes & Spinach Ravioli
2. Tomato and Corn Salad.

But in my wanderings about the internet, I’ve found some fabulous recipes using tomatoes. I’m sharing links to them here for your reference.

3. Oven Sundried Tomatoes from Where Women Cook

4. Shrimp with Mango Salsa from Julia’s Album

5. Crockpot Mexican Tortilla Stack from The Nurturing Cook

6. Creamy Tomato-Balsamic Soup from Pinch of Yum

7. Salami + Mozarella + Grape Tomato snack from Good Life Eats.

8.  8 Can Taco Soup from High Heels and Grills

9. Easy Feta Dip from The Girl Who Ate Everything

10. Goat Cheese and Tomato Sauce from Isabelle at Home

Please don’t ask me to pick a single favorite. I couldn’t even begin to tell you the best recipe for tomatoes. Of course, the best way to eat a tomato is fresh from the garden, warm from the summer sun.

What is your favorite way to eat tomatoes? Do you have a favorite tomato recipe you’d like to share?
