Tomato & Peach Salad with Green Dressing

So this is September.

I’m not really sure where the summer went but I am mentally preparing myself for all things apple, pumpkin and cozy.

BUT FIRST- Let’s have one last hurrah with late summer produce by making this light and flavourful tomato and peach salad with green dressing while we still can. It is loaded with juicy peaches, harvest tomatoes and topped with fresh herbs, a soft cheese of your choice(vegan or otherwise) and drizzled with the most amazing green honey dressing. If only I could eat this ALL YEAR LONG.

Is there anything better than tomatoes and peaches when they are in their prime? The farmer’s market stalls are overflowing with every type of tomato possible and perfectly ripe peaches just at the very end of their season. Soon we will be back to winter tomatoes that really, just aren’t the same (at least here in Canada where our season is pretty darn short!).

Tomato Jam (Paleo, Whole30 and Vegan)

Tomato Jam is a thing. And currently, it is MY thing because I can’t stop making it.

It’s a sweet and tangy jam with some warming spices like ginger and cinnamon as well as cumin to keep it balanced. Usually, sweetened with tons of sugar, I used dates instead.

You can put this stuff on basically everything. Egg? Jam. Salad? Jam. Vegetables? Jam. Meat? Jam. You get the idea. It goes really well with your favourite cheese as well as avocado toast. Huzzah!

Tomato Coconut Soup with Sweet Potato Noodles (paleo, whole30)

Tomato Coconut Soup with Sweet Potato Noodles. Holy YUM.

So, I couldn’t really decide what to call this soup. It kind of has that tom yum or hot and sour soup vibe but without the spice. It is also kind of like a ramen wannabe because there are lots of fresh veg and egg packed on top. However, the broth is a tomato and coconut base with lime juice and coconut aminos giving it a unique, zingy flavour. And despite all of the things you can compare it to, the one thing I know is that it is delicious my friends. So yes, call it what you want, I will just stick to delicious.

Paleo Tomato Tart

Hi, my name is Lizzy and I am 100% obsessed with tomatoes right now. My usual mode of consuming these beauties is sliced with a hefty glug of olive oil and more than a fair sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper. Simple, and so satisfying. However, do to the fact that I somehow can’t help but buy pounds and pounds of these at the farmer’s market, I need to find other ways to use them up. In comes this tart. A cheesy (dairy free of course), pesto-y and tomato tart combination that is the perfect culmination of all that summer has to offer.
