This is summer! Fresh heirloom tomatoes and fresh herbs simply prepped who could ask for anything more? Made as written cutting recipe down to one very large tomato as there was just the two of us. The cook time was perfect for bring out the flavors with out being over cooked or mushy. Thanks so much for the post. -

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
