I love tomato season! I can't get enough of vine-ripened tomatoes. My husband and I eat tomatoes in some form every night during this
season. Use fresh vine-ripened tomatoes either from your own garden of buy them at your local Farmer's Market. Forget those
bland-tasting tomatoes from your super market.
