Chop tomatos into a bowl to catch juices.

Cut zucchini into 1 or 2 inch chunks or rounds if not too big around. Saute in stock pot in olive oil with garlic till just starting to soften but still crisp. Season with salt & pepper and tarragon. Immedietly add tomatoes and juice. Add vegetable broth to desired amount of juice. I dont like this soup to be swimming with juice I like it a bit chunky. Simmer for about 30 minutes to meld flavors.

    This is a great thread! I was hoping for lots of yummy ideas, but thought I would share my childrens favorites.

    Med Eggplant cut longway, 1/2" think slices
    Lg tomato
    1/4 red onion
    black olives (to your taste)
    green olives (to your taste)
    pinch fresh oragano
    splash olive oil

    Chop above veggies, excluding eggplant, into 1/4' pieces, add to bowl with oil, gently stir to coat. Set aside until later.
    Pre heat grill. Spray eggplant with non stick cooking spray, or brush with olive oil. Grill eggplant about five minutes on one side,flip.
    Carefully spoon chopped veggies onto cooked side of eggplant, cover with slice of motzy cheese. Remove from heat when cheese is bubbly.

    My daughter is diabetic and has to count everything she eats, so we have had to learn to cook foods that fill up a growing pre teen with out counting against her to much. We have rough figured this as counting as 15 carbs.
    We add and subtract veggies at will, depending what is fresh at hand.
    My daughter wants me to tell you she prefers to use cherokee purple tomato, she thinks they work best in thei recipe. I prefer a nice paste tomato, they seem to run less.

    www.recipesource.com has 280 recipes for pesto, which I find confusing. Does anyone have a simple one for my basil? Doug

    Plenty of Zuchs and cabbage and nice onions never go to waste try this.
    (I don't measure a thing)
    Cut up your cabbage, Place on the bottom of a high walled Thick pot
    Slice several onions like you would for hamburgers, place on top of cabbage.
    Turn on the heat to a simmer
    Chunk up summer squash place atop the other items.
    Cover let the stuff simmer and steam, if no steam add a little!! water.

    Once the squash begins to tender add quartered tomatoes.
    Sevre with parmsion cheese salt and pepper and enjoy.

    I cook as I speak striaght from the top of my head. But this is easy to do as it is good for you.

    Anyone have a recipe or two to share for Green toamatoes?

    My favorite for green tomatoes was given to me by a customer last year. dredge your green tomato slices in buttermilk that has a dash or 2 of hot sauce in it. Then dip in cornmeal that has salt, pepper, and whatever spice you would enjoy (thyme, rosemary, tarragon, etc). Fry slices in a skillet that has about a 1/4 inch or less of vegetable oil in it. Fry until golden brown then flip and brown the other side. My customer likes it best with goat cheese on top. My DH likes it with horseradish and my son likes it with ranch (a general kids dipping sauce...).

    GREAT!!
