Beautiful Chaos Kitchen Summer Recipes: Tomatoes 3 Ways

Here we are in August—delicious harvest season! All that hard work, tending to your garden has suddenly paid off with a bright & beautiful bounty! Or (if you are like me), you didn’t do the hard work and instead support a local farmer who did 😉

August is my favorite month for garden-grown tomatoes. It’s almost like you can taste the months of summer in their earthy juices. I like to get creative with simple ways to serve these beauties!

Here are 3 of my easiest, yet delicious recipes

Garden Tomatoes 3 ways:

  • Easy Caprese
  • Simple Summer Salad
  • Off the Vine Patio Salad

Simple summer salad:

Gather It

  • Fresh romaine lettuce
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 large red apple
  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped banana peppers
  • 1 rotisserie chicken *I pick up a fresh, cooked rotisserie chicken (from the grocery store) on my way home from work! It’s so fresh and yummy—all I have to do is pull it apart and add to my fresh garden salad for an easy dinner!

Make It

  1. Chop the lettuce, veggies & fruit.
  2. Mix.
  3. Add pulled rotisserie chicken.
    Voila—dinner in 15 minutes!

Here is my new FAVORITE salad dressing. I find it at Fresh Thyme here in Minneapolis!

What if you started today—taking EVERY thought c What if you started today—taking EVERY thought captive... every.single.thought. What if every tiny thought you had, was weighed against the GINORMOUS love that God has for you. When you measure up your thoughts according to His love—to His Word, you are actively allowing TRUTH to come in and kick OUT whatever comes against it. Everyday and in every way, there is an assassination on your joy, your peace, your health, your freedom and your destiny. BUT, the TRUTH is, there is One who has already defeated every pathetic threat and has given YOU access to overcome and see all these things play out VICTORIOUSLY. You have to change your mind and refuse to settle for stinking thinking—replacing your thoughts with God thinking—taking hold of the mind of Christ. Do this, with everything you’ve got! His promises are too good to miss out on 🤍
