Got Tomatoes?

When the growing season began, a few weeks before we were expecting our little Bronwyn, our fabulous neighbors offered us some plants for the garden we were planning.  Reed decided we could use 6 plants.  I thought nothing of it at the time.

Our little garden has become a jungle of leaves and tomatoes in only 4 short months.  Yesterday after being gone for 6 days, we picked 2 big bowls of tomatoes! Keep in mind we have only 3 people in our family who actually eat tomatoes, so that is a whole lot!

Tonight, I tried this fabulous recipe that at least made a dent in our tomato supply, and it was actually SCRUMPTIOUS!   Just go here!   We added turkey bacon, powdered garlic and onion, parsley flakes, basil, and shredded cheese and we thought they were delicious!

Also, if you want to try this recipe but have no tomatoes, just drive on down to our house and we can definitely give you more than enough to make this recipe for yourself, your large family of 10 kids, and probably your neighbors as well.  ;)

I canned a bunch of our tomatoes yesterday.

I don't have ten kids, but i'll take some tomatoes. Or else I could just come over the next time you make tomato cakes. :)

Tomatoes are really easy to bottle. I am sure one of the sisters has the canning stuff that you can use. And the nice thing is that you can just do a few bottles as things get ripe, you don't have to do them all at once. Just a thought.....
