Fried Green Tomatoes
Green Tomatoes are probably one of my favorite things on earth to eat. If you have never had a green tomato, you need to put them on your list of things to try. They have a completely different flavor and texture than red tomatoes. I have discovered there are two kinds of green tomatoes. One is the unripe version of any red tomato which I prefer when frying and the other is the heirloom green tomatoes that come in several different varieties. These tomatoes work best in other recipes. Both types are incredibly delicious. They crisp, firm, tart, juicy, citrusy, meaty, and refreshing. Green tomatoes are beautiful in salads. They hold up well when you cook them. In the south they show up in casseroles, in grilled cheeses, on eggs Benedict’s and on hamburgers. However my most favorite ways to eat them is fried.

Fruit Tarts and Friendly Trades
I LOVE fruit tarts! I could seriously eat them nearly everyday. They aren’t too terrible for you and they are filled with fresh fruit. They are super expensive to buy at the store and a much more cost effective option is to bake them yourself. Until I received these tart pans, I never could make them because I didn’t have the extra money to spend on the pans, but now that I have these pans, I am a tart making fool!
I am so glad that my very good friend Heather introduced me to her boyfriend’s mama. When this lovely lady was cleaning out her house she stumbled across an assortment of kitchen supplies, including numerous tart pans, and thought of me. I decided to immediately put the tart pans to good use. I had an assortment of summer fruit and craving that would not quit. I will be paying her back for her generosity with some lovely tarts.
In my first attempt at making tarts, I created this recipe. If you would like the recipe for this delightful fresh fruit tart with almond cream, just follow the link here-Almond Fruit Tart. The tart is packed with assorted summer fruit and is as gorgeous as it is delicious. It is also gluten free. The tarts come together without much effort at all.
I am currently in the process of making a chocolate strawberry tart and some tarts with fall flavors. Sign up for the newsletter to get these recipes when they are published.
