We have an abundance of tomatoes – too much really. Take a look. The baby tomatoes were for the salad for which I have the recipe below – and the large ones were for the tomato soup ( also described below). Same for the yellow tomatoes.
So this morning I made yellow tomato soup ( roasting the yellow tomatoes first then adding vegetable stock and seasoning, bringing to a boil and blending), red roasted tomato soup (same idea) and also a roasted cherry tomato salad with fresh mint – all grown at The Little Farm. Here are some of the zucchini, peppers, squash and cucumbers. I am experimenting with Zucchini Jam ( along with Meyer lemons and fresh ginger all grown on the farm tomorrow )- and will share it with you if it works out! 
With fresh corn from the farm and baby arugula salad with fresh ricotta from our goats milk – it was a a gourmet feast for lunch! ENJOY!
