Home Grown Tomatoes
Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
Than bacon & lettuce & homegrown tomatoes
Up in the mornin' out in the garden
Get you a ripe one don't get a hard one
Plant `em in the spring eat `em in the summer
All winter with out `em's a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin' & diggin'
Everytime I go out & pick me a big one
Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love & homegrown tomatoes
You can go out to eat & that's for sure
But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure
Put `em in a salad, put `em in a stew
You can make your very own tomato juice
Eat `em with egss, eat `em with gravy
Eat `em with beans, pinto or navy
Put `em on the site put `em in the middle
Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle
If I's to change this life I lead
I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed
`Cause I know what this country needs
Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes

ReplyDeleteWe eat simply especially in the summertime. This will be delicious for a light supper. Thanks Shelia.
ReplyDeleteIf you have tomatoes, do you have to have something green?? I don't think so - tomatoes are healthy and sooooo good. We had our first tomatoes from our garden tonight. Yum! Sally
ReplyDeleteWe think one of the best delights of Summer is when tomatoes are in season! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeletei adore marinated tomatoes, nothing screams summer more to me!
ReplyDeleteOh, Shelianess... I love the way your mind works and your fork!
ReplyDeleteI have to share that tonight, I ate soy crisps, some sort of black bean dip, and Publix Moose Tracks Ice Cream for my so-called dinner. Mr. Magpie is not here, so the mapie in me played! ;-)
Love that marinade and must try it!
Happy FF to you!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Thanks for the recipe. I think we will have some this weekend. We love tomatoes and I really like Balsamic vinegar. I hope you are having a nice evening ♥

Shelia...I'm starving now..and it's 11:00 at night..and way to late to start frying pork chops...lol ;) HMMM...everything looks so delish! Nancy
ReplyDeleteYum:) Tomatoes look wonderful. One of my favorite summer treats.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe, Shelia. It looks so good and yet so simple to prepare. I will serve it one of these days, perfect for our home grown tomatoes...Christine
ReplyDeleteLooks like a yummy recipe for tomatoes and the oil is so good for you. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very classic way for tomatoes..will definitely try..
ReplyDeleteLove the poem!!
Shelia, you've come to my rescue! I was just wondering how I can use up my tomatoes without having to cook them... Perfect! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove it, Shelia...especially the part of "let's pretend we started with a salad"! Girl...you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila
ReplyDeleteI love your oil dispenser all the way from Italy. Thanks for sharing your tomoato recipe. They look great.
Best Wishes
Lindsay

Oh, Mrs. Shelia, that is one delicious looking plate you've prepared. I can just taste it right now. I love how you've served it with a wheat roll. That makes it a healthy meal just like a candy bar and a diet coke, right?!? :) haha Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia
ReplyDeleteOh yum yum yum yum yum yummmmmm...I love tomatoes...and balsamic vinegar so that would be very delish for me too. I can eat a tomato on the side for lunch and another on the side for dinner and especially ones right out of the warm garden..mmmm..
Very pretty olive oil container and salt shaker. Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe!
have a lovely day.
Judi
I do love vine grown tomatoes--plain or fancied up. Yours look yummy.
ReplyDeleteyum! That looks like the perfect summer meal! :)

Morning Pickle...I love tomatoes!!!! I never tried them that way..mine usually never make it very long around here ..we love just plain ole tomatoes sandwiches! lol That whole meal looks fantastic...but uh...Pickle...about the corn...if I was to come eat with you...you would give me alittle bit more corn than that wouldn't you,..Pickle????lol lol Have a great weekend sweetie~♥~
ReplyDeleteI make mine almost exactly like this, Shelia! But I add one tiny ingredient that makes it oh so much better. Slices of mozzarella on top of the maters! YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
Love the olive oil dispenser...the tomatoes look tasty too.
ReplyDeleteI love tomatoes, and these look scrumptious. I can't wait until the fresh tomatoes around here come in.
ReplyDeleteI bet I could eat those tomatoes daily! They look delicious. We like simple foods like that too.
ReplyDeleteShelia, I love tomatoes any way you fix them, these look and sound devine, so I will try them soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday,
Barbara
Sheila, one of my standard sandwiches during tomato season is simply mayo, Vidalia onion, black pepper and sliced tomatoes. Now you've given me a new idea, I think I use your tomato recipe on my sandwich! Oh yummy, that sounds good.
ReplyDeleteJust add a glass of cool tea and thats a meal for me! Sometimes the simple dish is the best...
ReplyDeleteSimple summer flavor favorites. What's not to like! I love tomatoes so much that when I was expecting my 2nd child (too many moons ago to count) that I ate tomatoe and mayo on white bread for 9 months with salt too (a real no no these days). Amazingly I never gained weight and was able to zip my pants upon leaving the materniity ward. If I ate that way now I would need yards and yards of spandex:)
ReplyDeleteJoyce
I have a lot of home grown tomatoes for the moment and this is a good alternative for the way we usely serve them We make a vinaigrette of salad oil and white vinegair and add some salt and peper and a small chopped oniun. But now I'm going to try it you way. I think I will use fresh basil since I have a tub of it at home for the moment.
ReplyDeleteShelia, of course I changed my blog dress again, you know I'm such a blog fashionista! LOL
ReplyDeleteNo, I've been looking for one layout simple enough but have colors I like as well or simple enough so it's not too distracting. He he, I'm also having fun trying out different ones!
There is much to be said for simple and delicious. I loved your pictures and must admit to envy over your olive oil dispenser.
ReplyDeleteI adore tomatoes but my husband and son not so much. They like them in spaghetti sauce and that's about it. Can you say Prego!
ReplyDeleteHowever, they both love Bruschetta and this is a variation on that dish. It looks scrumptious. Please educate this Yankee chick on what Shoe peg white corn is.
Deee---lishus! As for green on that dinner plate, the tomatoes used to be green, and that's close enough!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy, all of it
Cass
Oooh so good. LOVE this! Your marinade is different from one I make so I will try it out! I KNOW we will love it!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Sue, who also loves your dispenser!!
I make that for DH. I like to grow tomatoes, but don't eat them..but pass the ketchup!
ReplyDeleteStrange I know!
Do you do Fried green tomatoes? I have never tried..
No tomatoes here for a few more weeks at least..we are late!!!
Have a great weekend, Sheila!
Thank you sweetheart for the prayers, you don't know how much they mean to me.Love ya, hugs !
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason I grow fresh basil! I love those flavors together. Your oil dispense is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteThose tomatoes look yummy! That's one of my favorite summer foods.
Gretchen
Hey sweet friend... It sounds so yummy... I kinda do that but with mozzarella & fresh basil added on top... try it I think you'll like it...
ReplyDelete(((HUGS)))
Donna
Mmmm love tomatoes like that! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Allison
Those tomatoes have my mouth watering. I do something similar only I cut the tomatoes into a large dice, and I've never used the garlic in them. We all like garlic, though, so I'll to add that in next time,
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!
You just can't beat a good tomato, and yours looks really good.
ReplyDeleteJean in virginia

Shelia, oh how I love good fresh tomatoes. Had one tonight with dinner. I think I might have to adopt this song as mine! I might wanna be pushing up tomatoes! Your receipe sounds scrumptuous! laurie
ReplyDeletewhat an easy way to tastebud heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteMMMM, this looks like a lovely recipe to try for these hot summertime days...thanks for sharing...wonder if fresh basil will be good also???
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that I don't eat raw tomatoes with the exception of salsa. Cook them suckers up and I'll eat them on some pasta. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting along with everyone else to hear who won your pretty little pillow. When are you making the announcement?
What a fresh idea for tomatoes--and I would love using olive oil if I had a pretty vessel like that. I will start hunting. Joy, joy, joy! Thanks so much for this wonderful summer treat.
