Tomato Pie

The other day when we went camping, my uncle not only sent me home with blueberries but also a bag of tomatoes fresh out of his garden! Tomatoes are one of my favorite veggies which is kind of funny considering I used to hate them when I was a kid.

This tomato pie recipe is a favorite of mine! It's the first time I've made it this year. There's just something about using tomatoes out of the garden versus from a grocery store that makes it taste so much better!

My picture doesn't do it justice but my photographer (husband) was still at work when it came out of the oven so I had to manage without him. :)
