Summer’ Bounty Heirloom Tomato Galette Recipe

We’re trying to be good kids this is the Summer by making it a season of “to-do’s”. If any of you have one of these lists, we’ve probably got you beat by a mile. Or two. We’ve just go so much we want to do and so little time. Well, we committed ourselves to being focused over the last few weeks, thus the lack of posting.

Top of our list was finishing up house maintenance duties that have been neglected for a while. You’d be proud to know that we finally replaced our old wood side-gates. Yes! We built out two new small decks going into the garden and replaced the top wood on our front deck. In the process we discovered ironwood, which is amazing. We also had our outside garage lights fixed and they’re now finally working after about 3 years. Yay! Let there be light!

Here’s some pics from when we shot Bountiful – Sierra likes to guard the table, while Lexi (she was so little) hopes to find food under the table.

Somewhere down on our list is to eat more heirloom tomatoes. Basically, don’t travel so much in Summer so that we can actually be home to enjoy eating from the garden more. That’s what we’ve also been focusing on this Summer, which is to work locally more and take less travel jobs because we enjoy being home so much!

We’re feeling satisfied at this point in our career that we don’t need to hop on a plane to work as much. Yeah, travel is nice. More than nice, we love it. But it had gotten to a point when actually beinghome for more than seven days at a time was a luxury for us. So it’s nice to dial it back a little and appreciate every moment sitting in the garden and eating more heirloom tomatoes.

Heirloom tomatoes always seem to ripen at once and when they do, it is time tofeast on them for every minute of every meal of the day. This tomato galette is one of our favorite recipes that we shared in our cookbook, Bountiful. It’s a great way to use up those tomatoes that are overflowing at the markets and in gardens.

Hope you all are having a marvelous Summer. We’re enjoying every minute of it and you can get more glimpses of our garden and Summer adventures on Instagram for White On Rice Couple. And we’re still hoping to finish our “to-do” list by July. Wish us luck!

Happy Summer,

diane and todd
