Baked, Stuffed Tomatoes

The theme for Monday posts in August is Summer.

There are just so many summer recipes that accumulate over the season that I always run out of time to get them posted.

We wait patiently for tomatoes, then we have hundreds. The same with the summer squashes and green beans.

When the tomatoes first start producing we eat them sliced, on their own, with vinaigrette, in salads, with and without mozzeralla.

As the season progresses and the weather cools I start baking them.
