The Challenge for next week, Memorial Weekend included is the Tomato!!

Gazpacho, anyone?? Salsa?? Tomato and Bread salad?? Linguini with red clam sauce??

Good Cooking, all!
 
I have been doing tomatoes galore for the last several weeks!! LOL ok I need to find another way to show off tomatoes. hmmmmmmmmmmmm ok then.
 
I'd like to say 'yes' to that question, but I don't know for sure. If it can wait till I get settled I can try to handle that, weekly. Right now, I can barely focus on just typing.

Ok I'll give it a shot. I will include the recipe link or a description with the pics. Sometimes things are so simple no recipe is needed. Like the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words. LOL

LOL thank you vera!! No problem I kinda enjoy it. It takes my mind off all the other PITA things in my life and I am grateful for the distraction!!
 
I made a roasted tomato pizza - used an armenian bread that was topped with black and white sesame seeds. Then I spread pesto on top of that, fat free mozzarella, sauteed mushrooms (in the one pot I still have unpacked) and roasted Ugly Ripe tomatoes. I roasted them first so they would be a bit drier on top of the bread.

Thanks Dee! It's a lot like a biscuit dough so it's very easy to make, with very little kneading and tastes wonderful.
 
Stuffed tomato shell (tomato meat, mozzarella, EVOO, oregano, Vidalia onion, fresh basil, sea salt, ground pepper and bread crumbs)

Look at that bread! And that stuffed tomato is wonderful!

Here's the bacon you asked for, Mama.

I told you we're living on BLT's right now, so I'm posting a pic.
