Baby Heirloom Tomatoes

I bought some of these at the farmers market yesterday.
(Doesn't this almost look like a quilt?)

Yum!  These baby heirloom tomatoes were delicious!
I sliced them in half and put them over the top of my pasta tonight.
I'll use the rest to make a basil and fresh mozzarella salad tomorrow.

A couple of months ago somebody posted a recipe for a tomato and cheese tart.  
Does anyone remember who that was?

  2. Thanks so much for stopping by and making such nice comments on my blog.
    From reading your blog, I realize we have a lot in common. I also love small towns, vintage items, etc.

    I had planned to write a post about Beatrix Potter for her birthday but I forgot. You did such a nice job and I thoroughly enjoyed your post.

  5. Those look so yummy! I love fresh tomatoes. We had our first cherry tomatoes from the garden a few days ago. I can hardly wait until the others are ripe. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving the nice comment.

  6. Don't know about the recipe Gayle but I do know the colours in those tomatoes are just gorgeous.

    If you had to pic a fruit/vegie that sums up Summer it would have to be tomatoes. The colours, flavour, aroma of the leaves..........

    I have just come in from digging over and manuring the vegie garden. I'm getting ready for Summer, bring it on.

  15. I thought it was a quilt before opening your post! An , you're just like me, forgetting where you saw a yummy recipe before. And I remember that too. It wasn't on one of Michael Lee Wests' pages was it?

    Oh, it does look like a quilt.
    I love these heirloom tomatoes that the markets have been selling...so fun. And I loved reading you Beatrix Potter post. My girls had the service (both china and silver) for special occasion meals....and of course we read and reread many of the books till they began to fall apart. We even have a Beatrix Potter cookbook.
    Wishing you a beautiful day....
