Our one cherry tomato plant has exploded and is giving us a ton of tomatoes. In the last two days, we have harvested 87 tomatoes, and I will be able to go back tomorrow and harvest another 30 or so. We also subscribe to two CSAs who are also delivering cherry tomatoes. Luckily, all of us love them, but now we have more than we typically eat, so this week we are trying several new recipes.
Let the week of cherry tomatoes begin! (Meanwhile, all of the other produce we have that will freeze well is going into the freezer in the freezer meals listed below.)
