This is how I use my late season produce, all picked fresh from the garden at peak freshness-Italian plums, Asian Pears, Bosc pears and cherry tomatoes. With the pears, I made the Carrot and Asian Pear Soup, but the plums are special and I wanted to eat them fresh in a salad. Here is my spin on tomatoes and stone fruits. You can use goat, feta or mozzarella cheese as I have used here. The salad dressing is olive oil combined with my Healthy On You® While My Za’atar Gently Weeps Middle Eastern spice blend. My organic spices can all be used like this, but the Za’atar gives this recipe an interesting spin. Enjoy!

provence youve been gone

It’s tomato season! If you have a garden, growing tomatoes are a test of patience that can sometimes make you want to pull your hair out. Luckily, local farmer’s markets are overflowing with tomatoes so sweet ripe tomatoes should be easy to come by. This tart is perfect for a main course at brunch and also works well with a side salad for a light dinner -with a glass of vino (wink, wink!)
