Garden Fresh Tomato Toss

7/21/2014

I was watering my 'Wee Garden' today and noticed a rather large pickling cucumber that escaped me until now and I decided that the tomatoes that were now ripe and the cucumber needed to be put to good use. I found a nice yolo green pepper in my garden and a small jalapeno and added them into the 'mix'.  I thought about making relish or pickling slices. Then my husband said "how about just something un-pickled and 'tasting like Summer in a Jar'.  There you have it!!  I decided to NOT pickle with vinegar's or sugars and to just let the flavors speak for themselves - they don't just whisper in this dish - they scream and it's a YAY!  One of the easiest and tastier "salad/slaws" I've made to date - Enjoy! Diane 

Garden Fresh Tomato Toss
Ingredients: 
4-5 heirloom tomatoes, ripe
1 small green bell pepper
1 small jalapeno, seeded
1 large pickling cucumber
1 tsp kosher salt
dash of course ground black pepper
1 tbs olive oil

Fresh Garden Herbs:
handful of garlic chive
6 leave of sweet basil
handful of parsley
few sprigs of Dill
2 small pinches of oregano

Dice all veggies and place in mixing bowl.  Add all herbs, with salt & pepper to Cuisinart and blend. Stream in just about 1 Tbs of olive oil until blended.  Mix Herbs into veggies until well blended and refrigerate until serving. Make approx 1 pint.

     I love this cheesecake, it is a more dense cheesecake then the NY style one that I make but, the taste is wonderful. Don't have cinnamon chips? that's ok! you can just increase the ground cinnamon a bit and get the same great taste! drizzle caramel over the top and you'd be singing a happy song for sure! Enjoy! Diane

Fresh Garden Herb Tomato SauceĀ

I am super happy with the taste of this sauce, I think using honey instead of sugar lets the tomatoes taste come through nicely. Even happier that someone just asked me if I sell my sauce - I will say, I enjoy making tomato sauces of all sorts and this simple one was SO easy and extremely tasty!! Use fresh herbs - that makes a HUGE difference - Enjoy! Diane 

Fresh Garden Herb Tomato Sauce


1 lbs tomatoes (roma & heirloom)
2 anaheim green chilies
3 tbs fresh parsley
2 tbs fresh Basil
1 small onion
1 tsp fresh oregano
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice 
1 tsp salt 

pulse all but honey and lemon juice in cuisenart. place combined ingredients into sauce pan - add honey and lemon juice. SImmer on low until mixture thickens (will depend on how watery your tomatoes were) I used a mix of romas and heirlooms. This was a 'test' recipe and as of right now, not canned. Since I will be using this sauce asap - I thickened a bit more near the end of cooking with a cold water/cornstarch slurry...

Honey Glazed Grilled SalmonĀ

Honey Glazed Grilled Salmon

Place salmon in a shallow, glass baking dish.

For each pound of salmon - mix the following together in a bowl and brush over tops of salmon fillets to marinate, covered at least 1 hour in refrigerator before grilling:

Honey Glaze Mix:

1 Tbs Honey
1 Tbs Dijon Mustard
1 Tbs Soy Sauce
1 Tbs packed brown sugar
1 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced

We use tin foil on the grill, oiled with olive oil, covering grill grates and a few hole poked through foil for air circulation. We place the salmon skin side down on the foil and cook until internal temp reaches 165 at the thickest part (our preference is 165, for food safety - temp should be at least 145) We brushed leftover marinade onto salmon during cooking 2-3 times. We use a spatula to carefully separate the skin from the salmon as we lift salmon from grill onto a clean serving plate.

Crispy & Tender Baked Chicken Thighs

I made these tonight - so flavor filled and inexpensive to boot! I removed the skin and it was still so moist and tender!  Diane 

Crispy & Tender Baked Chicken Thighs


Chicken Rub:
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground thyme
1/4 tsp smoked paprika

cooking spray or light olive oil
8 bone-in chicken thighs (skin on or off)

Preheat oven to 365/reduce to 350 when chicken is placed in oven.

Remove chicken skin if preferred (will lessen cooking time) 
Mix all rub ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle over chicken thighs placed on foil lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray or coated with a bit of olive oil (I use extra light olive oil and coat baking sheet/foil using a paper-towel.) Bake until internal temp of chicken reaches 165 and juices run clear.

Skin On should take approx 1 hour
Skin Removed should take approx 45 mins.
