Nothing says summer quite like fresh produce, especially tomatoes. From heirloom to cherry to Roma, they are all welcome in our kitchen and on our meal plates. I’ve had a long-term love affair with gazpacho for most of my adult life. During the summer months, there’s something so refreshing and satisfying about a cold soup packed with many of the veggies from our little beloved urban backyard garden, combined with other ingredients most people have stocked in their pantries. It’s basic chopping and super easy to prepare. Since we’re packing to move and working on the construction of our new house, quick, simple and healthy recipes are my jam. And, the fact you don’t even have to turn on the stove to cook this is a big bonus in my book, especially when you’re experiencing a July heat wave in the south. So, when you have a surplus of those tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, you’ll have a perfect way to use them. Well, and then there’s homemade salsa 🙂 … I’ll be sharing one of my favorite salsa recipes later this summer. Stay tuned, safe + well!
