The days are getting shorter and I’m mourning the loss of our 9 pm evening strolls. It might still be ninety degrees outside, but those earlier sunsets mean that scarf weather and pumpkin lattes are on their way. For now, I’m getting my fill of those glorious end-of-summer tomatoes.
Great tomatoes hardly need preparation to make a meal, but I’ve rounded up my sixteen favorite ways to enjoy them below. All of them would go over great at Labor Day potlucks, I might add! If you need more inspiration, check out these barbecue salads and sides.
