Favorite Summer Tomato Recipes

{Heirloom Tomatoes With Blue Cheese Dressing} 

We have a plethora of tomatoes due to my one plant in our backyard and a very generous family member who has an impressive vegetable and herb garden just a few blocks away.  Seriously, I cannot remember the last time I bought tomatoes at the market!  My four year old son loves eating them straight off the vine (he would eat an entire bowl if I allowed him) but I prefer to mix it up so I enjoy infusing tomatoes into salads, appetizers, pizzas and galettes whenever I can.  Here’s a look at some of my favorite summer tomato recipes (and yes, there is a definite difference between summer tomatoes and those pale, sad versions we’re all forced to buy at the store once the temps take a major dip!).
