Make the most of end-of-summer tomatoes 🍅

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read • Recipes

Hi Reader,

It's the last weekend in August, which means summer tomatoes are at their peak. This week I'm sharing two recipes that let ripe tomatoes shine. Neither requires any cooking, and both come together in under 20 minutes.

Pico de Gallo

A fresh, chunky salsa that's bright and a little spicy. So much better than anything from a jar.

Greek Salad

Chunky tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, Kalamata olives, and a slab of feta make this one of my favourite salads of all time.

If you try any of these recipes, don't forget to tag me on Instagram @insearchofyummyness with a photo. I'd love to see how your creations turn out! 📸

Cooking Tip!

If raw red onion is too sharp for you, soak the slices in ice water for 15 minutes before using. It tones down the bite while keeping the onion crisp. Works well for both of these recipes!

​This recipe is delicious. So summery and fresh! Yum!

Garden Update 🍅

This has been one of the most frustrating garden seasons ever. Every single one of my cucumbers, melons and squash perished. Possibly from the heat, or it could be from insects; I'm really not sure.

Now that the weather has begun to cool down, all of my tomatoes are ripening at once. Hence the inspiration for this week's newsletter 😅.

It's been a hot and busy summer, and I'm looking forward to the cooler days of fall. How about you? Are you ready to switch seasons?

That's all for today.
Have a great weekend,

⭐️ P.S. If you make any of my recipes, I'd appreciate it if you could leave a quick comment and star rating on the blog post. Your review will help others find and enjoy these recipes too!

Hi Reader, This sour cream peach pie recipe came to me through a brand partnership years ago. It was a peaches-and-cream tart that I was asked to share. The original recipe is long gone (on both my site and the brand's site), but the recipe itself never left my kitchen. Over time, I started adding nutmeg and cinnamon to the custard because the combination reminded me of one of my favourite doughnuts: the old-fashioned sour cream. That warm flavour of the spices pairs so nicely with sweet,...
