Tomatoes are in!

In New England we have a short window in which to savor the juicy, succulent local tomato. To me, there is no comparison to these juicy treasures.

Pair them with fresh mozzarella, fresh cut basil and a spritz of balsamic and extra virgin olive oil and you have an unforgettable appetizer or side dish.
