Watching our tomato plants growing since this spring and feels like it has been forever since we saw that first green tomato appear - and all of a sudden they are all about to ripen at once.
Feeling a little overwhelmed with how many tomatoes we are about to pick - here are a couple ideas I have found to use them for.
Caprese Salad - A summer BBQ Favorite! A simple salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, seasoned with salt, and olive oil.

Grill Them Up - Perfect for a salad or as a summer appetizer! Just marinate your tomatoes and slightly char them on the grill.
Home Made Salsa - Perfect way to use other stuff from the garden!! You can serve this right away or jar the salsa and put away to open one winter afternoon - while the snow is falling grab a bag of chips and open the fresh taste of summer!

Make Homemade Spaghetti Sauce - super simple and again serve right away or jar to use all winter long!
Chill out with Homemade Gazpacho - this cold soup is perfect to whip up on a hot summer day!!!
Bruschetta - impress your guest with a homemade Bruschetta to serve as an appetizer.
Lastly one of my summer time favorites is a BLT - make a good one, with thick, applewood-smoked bacon, sourdough bread, fresh lettuce, mayonnaise and plenty of tomato.
Enjoy all those tomatoes!
