Every one says garden fresh produce is better than what you can buy at the store.
I disagree with that statement. I have a big garden, and love growing my own food, AND most of the time the stuff at the store tastes just as good (if not better) than what I grow. I hate to admit it, but it's true.
But there is one exception to this rule, and that is tomatoes. Tomatoes from the store are nothing like tomatoes from a garden. Garden tomatoes taste like sunshine. As tomato season is in full swing, my menu this week focuses on garden fresh tomatoes!
