The Goods: Heirloom Tomatoes

Homegrown tomatoes are the BEST, but until the day I start growing them, I'm stuck with buying tomatoes at the store. Which can lead to very disappointing results. But occasionally I come across some flavorful tomatoes that make me happy...like the Splendido little tomatoes I wrote about a few months ago.


I have a new tomato love. Heirloom tomatoes. I've gotten them at my regular old grocery store and at Trader Joe's. I have been very happy with both. First off, they actually have flavor. Go figure. In addition, they all have slightly different flavors from one another, making for more dynamic tastes in your meals. Plus, they look so pretty on your plate!
