Put those garden tomatoes to good use with these 7 gluten free garden tomato recipes.

I feel like it was just yesterday that we were planning the garden and picking out the veggies we were going to plant. There were endless discussions in the middle of the home improvement store about which types of potatoes and peppers and herbs we should buy.

While I was excited about the idea of growing veggies, the thought that anything would actually come to fruition wasn’t really on my radar. I thought this would be a fun first year – the trial run before we took it seriously next year.

And then. And then I put this post together about starting a garden for beginners and we realized we actually wanted this to work. Brett started asking if I had fertilized and I suddenly found myself weeding on weeknights.

In the beginning of July, we harvested our first radish. I was outside weeding and realized this thing was popping out of the ground. I didn’t think too much of it but the next day, Brett came running into the house and asked if I saw that the radishes were coming up. I said I had and he asked me why the heck we hadn’t tried one yet.

Sheepishly, I didn’t even think about it. I was so focused on weeding and keeping everything alive that I forgot we were actually growing things to eat.

So, it happened. This summer, we officially became gardeners.

To help commemorate this unexpected occasion and because we need some ideas, too, I’ve rounded up seven gluten free garden tomato recipes. They’re all perfect for those straight-from-the-vine tomatoes – I cannot wait to give them a try!
