Favorite use for homegrown tomatoes?
I woke up this morning with my stomach seriously GROWLING for Caprese Salad! LOL
I really contemplated fixing it for breakfast  I definitely know what I'm having for lunch  With my kitchen over flowing with fresh tomatoes, I'm wondering what I'm going to do with them all. I've been considering canning some tomato basil sauce (we love this with pasta & shrimp) but I haven't made up my mind yet. What's your favorite way to use up an abundance of tomatoes?

I love home grown tomatoes. I'm waiting for mine to ripen still...uggg. That is so nice that you have a lot. I think your idea of canning them is a good one. In the past I've stewed them with some onion, celery, zucchini or whatever and then put them in small containers to freeze. And the ones you can get at before they go bad...yeah, sandwiches, salads, put over pasta with some other veggies, just plain along side the dinner. They're so good. Enjoy! I love cherry tomatoes and have a couple plants of those. When you're outside working in the garden, you can just graze on them right off the plant if you get hungry.

Second the salsa. It freezes well!
Or just run 'em through the VitaMix and freeze, that way I can do whatever I want with them later and don't have to worry about peeling -- which is great with the overabundance of cherry tomatoes.
