Do you grow your own tomatoes? Or do you like to head to the farmers markets on the weekend for you seasonal cooking inspiration? I’m fortunate to live somewhere, where the tomatoes are known for being sensational. Indiana grows some of the best tomatoes I’ve eaten. Kentucky too. I have about 30 tomato plants throughout my flower gardens & veggie garden. Some I’ve planted this year & others have popped up from last year’s plants. Gaining inspiration from the seasons is an instinctive way of cooking so I hope you’ve found a recipe or two here to inspire you. Let me know which ones you’re going to try. Cheerio, Lovoni xo
