Does anyone have any recipes that i can use? I have and will have a lot of tomatoes from my garden and am running out of things to do with them. Preferably vegetarian/vegan, but if it has meat that's ok too, i can make it for my family. Thanks alot!

    You can also make some salad out of it with mozzarella, basil and a bit of olive oil.

    This chicken chili would taste delicious with fresh tomatoes instead of canned and you could easily replace the chicken with beans.

    I found that it made about 8 servings with 230 calories each (using bonless, skinless chicken breasts)

    I get fresh basil from the farmer's market. Chop it up, add it to sliced tomatoes, add a little olive oil, and a little sea salt. Really simple, fresh, and delicious.

    I like to slice them up (thick or thin) and place them on a baking sheet and put pesto sauce on top of each then sprinkle parm cheese and then add a slice or sprinkle moz cheeseon each and broil them for 3 minutes or until the top of the cheese is starting to get crispy..yummy!!! Not sure of the calories it them. Would have to see if I can find the original recipe.

    I don't know if you're a fan of bloody marys, but my boyfriend found a to-die-for recipe for them and we tried it out the other day with tomatoes from my mom's garden. It was incredible, and pretty light on the calories for a cocktail!

    Made an awesome one the other day: made a vegan pesto (basil, oil - you can reduce to make it healthier and replace w/ some lemon juice/water, walnuts, garlic. salt, and nutritional yeast flakes), cut the tomatoes in half, core it, then fill with the pesto mixture, put more nutritional yeast flakes on top of the tomato/pesto and broil for a little while. mmmm

    Or, in a pita with some sprouts and homemade soy mayo. Awesome.
