Tomato Zucchini Tart
I can't find the link for this so I'll type it out...1/2 pie crust
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
2 tsp. olive oil
3 medium plum tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh basil chopped (or a few tsp. dried)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I didn't have fresh so I used canned and it worked great!)
1/3 cup light mayo
freshly ground pepper
Fit pie crust into pie or tart pan, prick bottom and sides using a fork. Bake at 450 for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned.
Saute zucchini in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes or until tender. Arrange in bottom of prepared pie crust. Arrange tomatoes on top of zucchini.
Stir together basil, cheese, and mayo. Drop by teaspoonfuls evenly on top of tomatoes and spread gently. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese is slightly melted.

Maddie really liked it. So did Mike. It was a hit, even as left-overs. Because we liked it so much, I might try this one too: Acorn Squash LasagnaThis one was from last fall, but I remember how good it was. I'll have to make it again soon.
We may not have zucchini, but we do have a plethora of tomatoes growing in the backyard (they were already growing when we moved in). I am so excited to have my first tomato sandwich!
Just look at that jungle! There are two regular tomato plants, three romas, and the rest are cherry tomatoes that just keep growing, and growing, and growing...
Maddie loves to help me pick the red ones (they look like Elmo's fur). So far I can't convince her to like them, and Mike only thinks they're okay, so I will have most of the bounty to myself! I could pop them like candy all day. I just have to be careful because I know what it's like to eat so many garden tomatoes you throw up. Yep, I've done that.

Yeah! Ever since you told me you would post this, I've been waiting in anticipation. :) This was so yummy when you made it the other day!
You always impress me. That looks SO good! And I'm jealous of your tomato plants. We're going to give our garden one more try next spring-we haven't been good gardeners yet:)

Those look delicious! We have lots of zucchini and are starting to finally get tomatoes now. If you lived closer I'd totally share. We are running out of ideas and the girls are getting tired of it so these recipes will be perfect to help me use it! Thanks for sharing!
Haha! I can't say that I've ever thrown up because I ate too many tomatoes. You have?!
Oh, how I love a fresh, warm, out-of-the-garden tomato! No luck here yet.
Miss you!
