Introduction
I once had a dream of growing tomatoes at home (story to help people
relate)
I didn’t know where to start or what to do
I failed a lot, but eventually I figured it out
Examples/Story
I used to not know how to grow tomatoes
Now I have juicy tomatoes waiting for me every week
I also grow other vegetables, and it’s great
I struggled in the beginning, but the learning happens one step at a time
I’ve never had talent for gardening, but I learned anyway

Headline: 5 Ways to Eat Tomatoes
Introduction
I love tomatoes
I can’t stop coming up with ways to eat them
So I thought I’d write this post showing you some of the ways in which I
create delicious food from my home-grown tomatoes
1. Salad
I love using my tomatoes in salads
I throw in some lettuce, carrots, salt, vinegar, cucumber, and I’m done
Here’s one of my recipes
2. Pizza
Ah, the glorious taste of pizza
My favorite pizza is a simple one, just cheese and tomatoes
Here’s one of my recipes
3. Gazpacho
There’s nothing wrong with soup, especially if you’re sick
It tastes even better when you use your own tomatoes
Here’s my recipe
4. Sun Dry
If I have too many tomatoes, I’ll sun dry them for later use
Sun dried tomatoes taste grate in all kinds of meals, such as pizzas and
salads
Try it out, here’s a link to my article on how to sun dry tomatoes
5. Tomato Sauce
I also like to make tomato sauce if I have too many tomatoes
It’s easy to store and use in pizzas and other foods
Here’s an article on how to make your own delicious tomato sauce
Conclusion
