This is what my counter looks like every few days.
Well, not the peaches and nectarines… I buy those every week.
My freezer is full.
It’s time to get creative with tomatoes!
Of course, I still have the zucchini, as well…..
The recipe, Zucchini (Courgette) And Tomato Gratin, has been updated, nutrition information added, and re-posted here: Zucchini & Tomato Gratin.
One of the easiest dishes to make when you have an abundance of tomatoes (or not) is simply to bake them. I like to hollow them out a bit and fill with something interesting.
Baked Tomatoes

Bell pepeprs are plentiful this time of year as well as cucumbers and onions…..
Gazpacho
For something different, peel, cook and purée the tomatoes and make a flan…
Tomato Flan with Couscoius Salad
I found a great looking Tomato and Onion Tart over at Life’s A Feast.
And 30 Tomato Recipes at Midwest Living.
Almost forgot – my favorite Tomato Quiche



I’ll be trying that delicious looking gratin tomorrow. Lots of zucchini from the garden and lots of tomatoes from the farmers market. Thanks for the recipe!
Such a rich time of year! I didn’t get to my favorite farm market this week, or my counter would look like yours. I keep trying to make a tomato-onion tart. This might be the week it happens.
That gratin is lovely.
Your tomatoes look lovely, and all the dishes are fantastic! 🙂
What a seasonal array – I love it !!
wow! What a gorgeous photo! I want to cook in your kitchen with your garden! love the gratin!
Wonderful harvest! Do you and your mari eat that many nectarines and peaches, or are you “canning” them?
I could easily chow down on any of the above.
Christine, I hope you like it. I’m just glad it’s cooled off enough to use the oven.
Mimi, a tomato – onions tart is on my list, too – maybe this weekend.
Thanks, Marina, I planted 14 different varieties – such fun!
