    I adore tomatoes! But I’m willing to bet that not quite 93% of Americans eat tomatoes let alone grow them! ha ha. I live in the city and don’t know a single person who grows their own. I wish I had room to grow tomatoes!

    Some great recipe links – thanks!

      I agree – that stat stuck out to me too so I googled it. Apparently of all American households that do home gardening, 93% of those grown tomatoes… not 93% of all Americans! That would be awesome though 🙂

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have a big bowl of fresh tomatoes on my kitchen counter, and I was wondering how I could use them all!

    Thank you, this is a beautiful post! Just to clarify – 93% of American households grow tomatoes? That’s shockingly high! I would have thought of those households that grow vegetables, 93% grow tomatoes.

    When I was little I used to say I hated tomatoes. Absolutely hated them, until I realized salsa my favourite thing was tomatoes. Doh! Now i’ll eat them in anything and everything. My favourite though is either salsa or bruschetta.

    I absolutely love roasted tomatoes, or tomato sauces, or salsa, but I CANNOT STAND raw tomatoes! Not on my sandwich, and definitely not in caprese form. It’s so sad, because they are so versatile and so beautiful!

    I waited on someone once who was allergic to tomatoes and until then I had never realized just how many foods have tomatoes in them or how much that would suck! They’re such a staple in my diet that I almost forget how nutritious they are — they’re just there, like garlic is, haha.

    Also, just as a head’s up, today when I typed in your website into Google and hit the link, it sent me to a “this website is down” page. I had to exit and go back through the process.

    Tomatoes are my all-time favorite vegetable, so you can imagine how much I love this time of year. Thanks for giving me more recipes to add to my arsenal.

    I’m especially intrigued by those tomato chips. Oh my, I just might have to buy me a dehydrator!

    Martha Stewart has a delicious recipe for Tuscan tomato soup (amazing) and I used Katie Lee’s recipe for Panzanella. Sweet mother it was good!
