This is what we picked out of our much neglected garden the other day.  I am so enthusiastic in the Spring and by Aug. I am done watering and weeding and replanting.  But this isn’t too bad a haul for not showing much love to our garden as of late.

What do you do with all these tomatoes?  Make a fresh tomato salad for one thing!

Cut up the tomatoes, generously pour some extra virgin olive oil over them and a splash of red wine vinegar.  Add salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh herbs-parsley, oregano and basil.  Or dried if you don’t have fresh.  I use lots of oil, salt, pepper and herbs.  Let sit for a bit before serving and top with crusty, dry old bread. (or crutons)  Mmm Mmm

I bought some fresh mozzarella to add also.

I have another recipe this week too-compliments of fellow Mother Artist,  Alissa.

Stuffed Peppers

This is a photo before I cooked them- I made them up and took them over to a friends and cooked them there…so they look even better after the cheese melts.

I bought spicy banana peppers at the farmers market and sliced them down the middle-took out the seeds and membrane.  Placed them skin side down in an oiled roaster or cookie sheet.  Filled them with cooked italian sausage, pine nuts, Paul Newman SockAroonie sauce and topped some with mozzarella and some with a sundried tomato, pine nut, basil cheese.  Cooked them at 425 for 15 minutes or so.  Alissa only used cheese-no sausage- and they were to die for too!   So easy so good!  You can use any kind of pepper but I like ‘em spicy!
