I love summer! I especially love the fresh tomatoes! I love planting them, growing them, canning them, and eating them! We are blessed with an abundance from our garden right now with not quite enough to can yet, so ... we're playing with them and having a night of tomato appetizers!
I'll start with my favorite: Tomatoes and Cottage Cheese. I ate this simple pairing my entire childhood and it's still one of my favorite summer comfort foods! If you've never had it: try it! You'll love it, I'm sure. Brownie drizzled balsamic on these but .... I like mine plain. No salt, no pepper, no drizzle. Just creamy cottage cheese and fresh sliced tomatoes!
Caprese salad is also one of our favorites around here. My daughter as a chocolate cherry tomato plant that is going insane with fruit! So I picked up some mozzarella and we made a different version of this delicious salad: Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad! Delicious! I think I still prefer the classic, but this was a fun creative way to change things up!
We put two of our other favorites on one plate because we were running out of room :-) I like to buy Willamette Valley Cheese Co. Creamy Havarti and melt it over fresh sliced heirloom tomatoes .... it's divine! Again, the drizzle made it too sweet for me but Brownie loved it.
And of course, Heirloom Bruschetta! Brownie likes to melt cheese over his bruschetta, but it looks like I won today and got nice and fresh! Tomato heaven!
