Got tomatoes? I have ideas 🍅
|
Hi Reader, If you've been around here for a while, you know that having too many tomatoes is a problem that I want to have. I love a challenge about using up veggies! So whether you're a gardener with tomato plants, or have acquired a bunch of tomatoes in some other way... these recipe ideas are the ones I still come back to every year. 1. Roasted Cherry Tomato SoupReally, you can use any tomatoes here! The roasted tomato flavor is so incredible, and the soup tastes incredibly fresh. In summer, I love topping it with sweet corn, feta, croutons, herbs, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. This one is also freezer-friendly for longer-term storage!
2. Tomato Peach GazpachoI often think I would take fresh gazpacho over a salad... and I love salad, so that's saying a lot. This version uses a couple fresh summer peaches for a hint of sweetness. I love meal prepping a big batch and storing in 16-ounce jars for easy lunches.
3. Garlic Roasted TomatoesRoasting up a full sheet pan of cherry tomatoes with some garlic and olive oil is the perfect flavor bomb to keep in your fridge. Add to pasta, salads, sandwiches, morning eggs... so good!
4. Zippy Chickpea Salad with Tomatoes & FetaA dense bean salad to keep in your fridge for flavorful lunches or sides! We love scooping this one up with pita chips.
5. Tuna & Olive Tapenade Pasta SaladPerfect if you have fresh cherry tomatoes to use up! I love having this one on hand for a high protein lunch.
I hope you get your hands on some fresh summer tomatoes this week! Talk soon, 💛 Tera

Hey Reader, I've been holding out on you with this recipe, and last week I finally made the time to photograph and publish it! I don't know what took me so long, but I'm so excited to share it with you because it's got easy summer weeknight meal written all over it. It came together sort of as a happy accident last summer. I was developing my herby chicken meatballs recipe and my creamy cucumber salad, so I had both leftovers in the fridge. One day I decided to combine them with greens, feta,...
Hey Reader, My garden has officially exploded and we're at the point where I'm going to need to be out there harvesting daily or I'm definitely going to lose some tomatoes. Which actually might not be the worst thing, because who doesn't love a few volunteer sungold tomato plants the following year?? All that is to say, August produce is a delight, so here's a bunch of produce that's in season and what you can make with it! Whether it's from your farmers market, CSA, garden, or grocery store....
Hey Reader, If you're enjoying all the summer cherries right now, I'm so excited to share this recipe with you! I literally thought about this recipe concept for three years before finally making it, and it's been one of the best lunch salads I've made in a minute. Here's the flavor combo: wheat berries, sweet cherries, feta, basil, walnuts, red onions, and greens in a simple, fresh cherry vinaigrette. Tons of texture and chew from the wheat berries, and bursts of juicy cherries in every...
