Home Grown Tomatoes

Anyone else out there have tomatoes going on like crazy! I love salads and BLT's, but you can only have them so many times a week!! Here are a couple of my favorite recipes for using your home grown tomatoes!!

Fresh Homemade Salsa

4 cups of fresh, peeled and chopped tomatoes

1 T. vinegar

1 T. oil

1/2 chopped onion

1/2 chopped green pepper

1 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. salt

1 clove garlic, minced

jalapeno to taste, chopped teeny

Mix and refrigerate to let flavors mix for at least 1 hour before enjoying!

Cajun Chicken Pasta

2 cups chicken, diced

1/2 onion, chopped

olive oil

2 cups fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped

Cook spaghetti noodles. In large frying pan, saute onion and chicken in olive oil until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in chopped tomatoes with pan still over heat, just to warm through (not to cook!). Serve over spaghetti noodles and top with Ranch Dressing and Cajun Seasoning. Very yummy and low fat, too!
