I Swooned!



I went to the Farmer's Market this morning.

I went with a list.
I had to buy black pepper chevre from Blue Heron and
I've been noticing that farmers in the area have been showing off the tomatoes in their gardens on FB. So I added tomatoes to the list.
I skipped the large farms that had tomatoes and went straight to the little farmers
and the heirlooms.
YUM!


Tomatoes


If I found tomatoes, then I wanted bread to go with them and the chevre.
A loaf of wild rice, onion and sage bread was definitely in order.

Then I decided I needed a treat.
The cinnamon roll will last me all week!

I was still walking and looking and my sack of goodies was getting heavy when I saw them.
I think I swooned!


Peach


Peaches!
They smell so good.

I love this time of year!

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Thank you to Mary for hosting Mosaic Monday.

Comfort Food




If I asked you to list your favorite comfort foods, what would they be?

Macaroni and cheese
Grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup
Scrambled eggs
Chocolate
Ice Cream

For me I'd have to add scalloped tomatoes to the list.



Scalloped Tomatoes

For my Granny and my Mother, scalloped tomatoes were their go to vegetable.
Quick and easy.

There are lots of recipes for scalloped tomatoes (Google and see) and
the recipes are basically all alike.

I cheated when I made this one.
I used a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano.
I sauteed some onion and celery, added the tomatoes and mixed well.
Dumped everything into a baking dish.
Added about 1/4 cup of bread crumbs to the tomatoes -- mixing well.
Then sprinkled a little more bread crumbs on top with some grated parmesan cheese.
Baked at 350 for around 30 minutes --
Bubbling and the cheese was melting.
Easy!
Yummy!

Perfect as a side dish for On The Menu Monday and Meatless Monday.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!
