My dad brought us an incredible amount of tomatoes.
Let me rephrase that, my dad brought us a ton of big 'ol tomatoes. I was bound and determined to move beyond my classic B.L.T. (heard of it?) and tackle these tomatoes head on in the most delicious ways.

Our tomato journey started on Sunday evening and as of Friday morning, we only have two tomatoes remaining. I call that a success!
For most of the recipes, I snagged them from my fav-o-rite website, Skinnytaste. Gina (we are definitely on a first name basis at this point) always has the tastiest recipes.
Here's what we've been eating all week!
On Sunday, we had Pesto-Parmesan Tomatoes to compliment our grilled steak.

Over the weekend, my sister-in-law made a delicious batch of Pico de Gallo and I was hooked. One of our tomatoes this week was donated to the Pico de-cause and we have been snacking on Pico all week!

This dish was quite possibly my favorite! We have started incorporating more fish into our meal routine (BREAKING NEWS: I'm a salmon fan now!). On Monday, we had tilapia with a tomato and caper sauce.

We don't always have soup in the summer but when we do.... it's full of tomatoes! ;) On Tuesday, we had Tomato Bisque. My husband added some red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning to give it a little more zing!

It's summer time, so lunch looks a little different for me these days. Yesterday, I enjoyed a lump crab salad and avocado.

It's truly been a delicious week. (There was one recipe that was a big 'ol flop, but I'll save that for another day!)

Just when I thought I had run out of ideas for my tomato stash, a friend sent me this link from The Gracious Wife with 88 recipes for fresh tomatoes. Now... I need a few more tomatoes!
