With the abundance of sunshine and heat your gardens are probably exploding with ripe vegetables. Every year I simply love picking out vegetable plants and seeds from Blackhawk Hardware’s Garden Center, planting them in our backyard, and watching them grow. Then summer comes around and it’s harvest time! Any gardener’s favorite time of the year!
We’ve been eating fresh veggies for a few weeks now and while I love the first 10 tomato sandwiches and fresh salads, I can never eat enough of them to use up all the fresh vegetables and I find myself looking for new recipes for my summer garden harvest. We’ve scoured the internet for tasty new dishes to make with some of the most popular summer garden vegetables. Here are the recipes:
Tomatoes
Grilled Bread with Ricotta and Tomatoes
