You say tomato, we say delicious
Fresh from the vine and bursting with flavor, there's nothing like a summertime tomato at the peak of freshness. Of the bushels we gather from our garden, many of them are eaten simply sliced with salt and pepper. But what to do with the rest? That's where this week's collection comes in!
From ripe tomato salads and tomato cocktail to fresh pasta and fried green tomatoes, we're sharing some of our best-loved tomato recipes. While we love a good BLT, there are so many more ways to savor one of the best things of summer.

Fried Green Tomato Biscuits
A down-home classic that is perfect with some hot sauce and a cool glass of iced tea, these tasty little sandwiches from 101 Farmhouse Favorites are packed full of summertime flavor.
16-oz. tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/2 lb. bacon
1 c. buttermilk
1-1/2 c. self-rising cornmeal
salt and pepper to taste
2 green tomatoes, thickly sliced
Garnish: mayonnaise
Bake biscuits according to package directions; set aside. In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain, reserving drippings in skillet. Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. On a small plate, combine cornmeal, salt and pepper. Dip tomato slices into buttermilk and then into cornmeal mixture, until thickly coated on both sides. Fry tomatoes in reserved drippings over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side, or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Split biscuits; spread one biscuit half with mayonnaise. Top with a tomato slice, bacon and top half of biscuit. Serves 4 to 8.
