I feel like I beat this subject to death...but am I the only one who wants to skip right through winter and into summer?
I'm not even going to pretend that winter tomatoes can compare to summer tomatoes...but cooking with ingredients that remind me of summer is one way to beat the winter blues. Bring on the tomato recipes!
We started with BLT Salad with Buttermilk Dressing.
So simple, yet so good! The assorted tiny tomatoes are very sweet and flavorful, drizzled with a creamy buttermilk dressing...I can close my eyes and almost feel like summer is here. Almost.
A couple of tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes in the dressing provide a big punch of flavor!
Another recipe where a handful of sun-dried tomatoes add a wallop of flavor!
My friend, Trish, was cooking with me and we discussed adding a few mushrooms in...we ultimately decided against this, but next time I make this recipe I'm planning on adding some 'shrooms!
Oatmeal Sheetcake with Caramel/Coconut Frosting
Okay, this recipe certainly departs from our tomato theme, but Dan the Awesome Cameraman is a fan of all things sweet. We haven't filmed a dessert since November and I want to keep him happy!
This dense cake is oozing with cinnamon flavor, and the caramel topping (perfectly browned by placing the frosted cake under the broiler for a minute) adds a crunchy texture.
