My Garden Runneth Over

Our tomatoes are finally ripening in our garden. This is a picture of a small portion of our tomato crop. We always end up with enough to feed the neighborhood. Good thing I have a friend who loves to can food. She's taking some of these to use in her own kitchen.

Tomatoes make a nice light afternoon snack. They don't have a lot of calories, and they can be served sliced with a little seasoning. There's no need to do anything fancy with them. One recipe I would like to try is this one. It's a good way to save tomatoes without having to go through the canning process.

For anyone curious about our garden, my husband has been doing container gardening in a greenhouse that he bought this summer.
