I’m nearing the end of my beloved tomato stash from our trip to Underwood Farms. We recently went for a day of fruit and vegetable picking out in the fresh air and fields of one of our favorite annual pumpkin picking spots. Tomatoes were the star of the day and even my two little non-tomato-eating-no-way-I-won’t-go-near-that-thing munchkins had a wonderful time picking so many colors and varieties of one of summer’s best fruits. (Of course, they wouldn’t try one though.) But K and I have been happily enjoying them, (me semi-hoarding them) and having such a great time creating recipes with the colorful little (and big) gems.
