“Growing up in Connecticut, we had whole summer meals centered around organic red tomatoes and sweet Jersey corn. Both do not need much, just some salt, butter, and maybe some balsamic vinegar.

There was an older man, John, that lived next door to us. He had the most amazing garden and he was willing to share with us as long as my Mom cooked. It worked out well and many amazing meals were eaten!

When I was all grown and cooking family dinners myself, I started grilling all types of vegetables, including tomatoes. If I topped them with fresh mozzarella as soon as they came off the grill, it would melt and soon became everyone’s favorite side dish. So make sure you have plenty because they will go fast!” - Tara
