Summer time is when we indulge in all of the fresh produce in our household! A few days ago my husband picked up a box of flavorsome tomatoes from a local farm. These tomatoes cannot even be compared to the ones from a regular grocery store, especially the rubber ones during the winter. Although we also grow tomatoes in our own little garden, we save those for our fresh garden salad we indulge in with almost every meal nowadays. This box of tomatoes will be used for all of the other tasty tomato things, like the best tomato spinach salsa.
