~ Tomato Love ~
.
.
I L-O-V-E love Tomatoes! Raw or cooked, I love them! I eat so many tomatoes I'm shocked that I haven't turned into one!
.
.
When I was pregnant both times I had such deep cravings for tomatoes, I just starting eating them with everything! When I didn't have fresh ones on hand I ate them right out of the can! Still to this day I crave and love a giant heap of pasta smothered with a can of stewed tomatoes...mmmmm....yum!
.

This year Hubby decided to build us a greenhouse to grow our own tomatoes and lettuce and such, but mostly tomatoes. I have been thouroughly enjoying being able to go out there in the mornings to pick my own tomatoes to eat for breakfast! My very favourite way to eat a beautiful fresh tomato is on toast with margarine, lots of mayo, sea salt and cracked peppercorns...Holy Hannah is it ever yummy! I grew up eating them with my Mom....she's going to be so jealous when she reads this post! If you look below, you can find the Super Stacked Toasted Tomato Sandwich I made for myself yesterday...I managed to fit that whole tomato in between two slices of toast and boy was it good!
.
.
You don't need anything on the side to dress it up...though it may look just like a plain and boring tomato sandwich, it just explodes with so much flavour and juices when you bite into it!
.
.
So on that note...it's 9:00am here, time for some breakfast so I'm off to go pick myself some juicy sweetness for another yummy Toasted Tomato Sandwich!

Hugs,
Rachel
