Tomato Season

July 15, 2010 by my1stwordwaschocolate

Roma Harvest!

We usually are swimming in tomatoes by the end of the summer. I do start to get sick of them eventually, but right now I can't wait for them to come pouring in. I have so many favorite recipes and of course, they're delicious with just a little salt!

Here of some of my favorite past blog posts using tomatoes:

Basil & Tomato Chicken Salad

Creamy Tomato Soup

Gazpacho

Panzanella with Bacon

What are your favorite summertime tomato recipes?

udon with turkey

Udon with turkey, edamame and zucchini

July 06, 2010 by my1stwordwaschocolate

Our local Asian food market has "fresh" frozen udon noodles for sale. I sauteed ground turkey, shallots, garlic, ginger, hot peppers, zucchini, and blanched edamame to add to the noodles. I made a quick sauce out of fish sauce, tamari and honey to dress the dish. It turned out beautifully. The noodles are ready in a flash (2 minutes) and they have a great tooth to them. The perfect pairing for the lean turkey and green veges.
