Best Fresh Tomato Recipes

I always get a little sad at the end of every summer, but then I go out to our garden and see all of the ripe tomatoes and that makes me very happy. Tomato season is my favorite! You can’t beat a ripe and juicy tomato right from the vine. Plus, they are SO pretty. I also love going to the farmers market and looking at all of the different varieties of heirloom tomatoes. They are almost too pretty to eat:)

Today, I am sharing our favorite fresh tomato recipes! Sure, you can just slice up a fresh tomato and add a little salt and pepper or make a fresh tomato sandwich, but sometimes it is nice to make something extra special with those tasty tomatoes! All of these recipes are simple and a great way to use up those end of summer tomatoes!
