Update: Anyone with a tomato recipe can enter; no one will know your tomatoes aren’t homegrown 
As promised, here’s your chance to show off your home-grown tomatoes and the wonderful things that can be done with them.
Share your pictures and recipes, and be automatically entered to win a $25 gift certificate to the King Arthur Flour catalog, courtesy of an anonymous giver.
To participate, just post a picture (and hopefully a recipe, too!) of your tomato creation to your blog or flickr page.
Then you can add your blog to our Mr. Linky form (please link to the individual blog post, not the generic url, and if you’re using a flickr page, be sure your security settings don’t block us out).
We’d really love to see pictures—this is a celebration of summer gardening—but if you don’t have a blog and would like to enter the giveaway, just leave your favorite tomato recipe in comments.
You can enter until noon on Tuesday.
A winner will be chosen at random and announced next Wednesday.

Looking forward to seeing other recipes to inspire us. We do a lot with our bounty of tomatoes, freeze them whole to add to winter chili and tomato sauces, and dh loves to make fresh salsa - no real recipe, he adds what he feels like at the time and what we have on hand from the garden - chopped tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno and green pepper, onion, some lemon juice and garlic.

I was hoping to make sauce this year to freeze, but realized I am going to need a LOT more tomato plants growing, to do that. Especially to gather enough tomatoes that are all ripe at the same time! But we sure are enjoying our tomato sandwiches! We are growing 4 varieties this year: cherry sweet 100’s, roma, early girls and big boys. There isn’t much better than fresh tomatoes. They just aren’t the same bought in the store.
I am looking forward to the other tomato recipes. I also can’t wait for my romas to be ready, so I can make some bruschetta!

Here is my recipe. This is my family’s all time favorite summer dish. I usually reduce the cheese, but it tastes better with more.
Pasta Fresca
8 large ripe tomatoes
10 large basil leaves (more if they are smaller)
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ tsp salt (or more to taste; it needs a lot of salt)
1 pound mozzarella cheese
1 pound bowtie pasta
Put a pot of water on to boil. Quarter four tomatoes and put them in a blender. Put five basil leaves, the garlic, olive oil and salt in the blender too. Blend everything until liquefied. Make sure there are no large chunks of garlic left.
Dice the remaining tomatoes and put in large bowl. Finely chop the mozzarella and the remaining basil and add to bowl.
When pasta is done, drain and the add to bowl. Pour blender mixture over the top and mix everything together. Eat promptly because the warmer it is the better it tastes.
