10 Tomato Recipes for Summer

We’re on week two of having a newest family member, Flora, join the family and F&V community. 

Flora is our 9 week old Australian Shepherd and if I do say so myself, she’s pretty perfect. 

I mean, have you seen her on my Instagram?! 

As I’m writing this she’s passed out beside me in her crate, completely wiped after her first rounds of vaccines today at the vet. 

And while I would love more cuddles and less razor sharp puppy teeth, it’s been a pleasure being her new dog mom. 

Right now, we’re working on the basics, like *sit*, *stay*, *down*, etc. 

We’re also working on potty training, crate training, socialization, and learning how to be alone. 

Looking at the socialization check list, I have to ask myself how well-socialized yours truly is. 

*snort*

One thing I am well-versed on is the beauty and deliciousness of a summer tomato. 

My personal favorite is a colorful heirloom tomato or a sweet juicy cherry tomato, but all tomatoes have their place in the fruit world.

Yes, I’m sharing 10 of my favorite ways to use tomatoes in recipes!
