We found these amazing tomatoes at the farmer's market this weekend. They are heirloom (so of course the boys and I saved the seeds). Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of them before we ate them all (did I mention they were amazing?) so I found a picture that looked like them online and I'm borrowing it until we can get more that I can photograph. Here's what they look like:
I sure hope he has more this week! He also had 3 other varieties of heirloom tomatoes including one that looked like a Roma, but was bright yellow. I'm hoping to try that one this week as well.Our menu for this week (remember, the bold items are locally grown/ raised):

Yum! I was thinking of heading over to the farmer's market today anyway, and now reading about all your fresh veggies really makes me want to go. :)
I hope you have a fun shop at the market - its one of our favorite places to go :o)

Pan Fried Tilapia sounds really good. My hubby and I both like Tilapia. How do you fry it up? Any certain seasonings? Breading?
Hope you have a wonderful week!
