It is time for a repost of one of my favorite recipes. Just need to savor what might be the last of the really great fresh tomatoes until next year. Thought you might need a nudge in that direction as well.
Opened the mail box to find a spectacular Tomato Pie on the cover of July issue of Southern Living. Oh dear, need one now please! The only problem was we have started Keto and the crust is a big no! Now it is only a brush with Keto not a marriage at this point. We have commitment issues when it comes to diet interfering with good eating so something had to change and the pie crust used in the recipe was the winner in the had to change category. Man does not live by all-purpose flour and sugar alone and you have to pick your battles as I see it. Plus, it didn’t require a rolling pin..since moving I have not found my full size one. But I know it is here and refuse to buy a new one. What is the use of down sizing if you buy 2 (or 3) of everything?
So I haven’t entered a post nor a recipe in some time now. Lots of cooking, celebrating , company and now it is time to get back on course. The party was a success. 60 guests and no one complained about the food or drink. I am sharing the menu and will share additional recipes soon. I mix do aheads( freezing and doing the day before), lasts minutes (keep these to a minimum) and a touch of store bought ( I can make marinated olives myself but why should I do it all.) I like to pick my battles. If I pick less make aheads and have to do lots of last minutes that mean I have to rely on good quality products to step in for me. I don’t like to do that 1. it isn’t mine and 2. it can cost more and then the budget is a mess. I don’t like either of those things. I can be a little on the controlling side and those both rub me the wrong way.
