If you're anything like my friend (and birthday girl), Ericka from Nibbles & Feast, who wasn't really a fan of tomatoes, this gorgeous Heirloom Tomato Salad with Pasta, Watercress, Pine Nuts and Basil Oil is sure to change your mind.
Sarah from Kitchen Procrastination cooked up a delicious plate of Smothered Chicken with Bacon and Burst Cherry Tomatoes.
Rory from Mamá Contemporanea, introduced us to a special Venezuelan treat called Bollitos Pelones.
Girlichef brought us two truly tantalizing tomato recipes, starting with Slow-Roasted Golden Yellow Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic & Marjoram.
And this Smoky Tomato Rissoto, that just looks SO comforting. Perfect for this cold winter weather. (Or anytime of the year.)
Jennifer, a fellow expat living in El Salvador, inspired by the shrimp cocktail she used to enjoy at her favorite Mexican restaurant in Georgia, created these Shrimp Tostadas, on her blog, Life in the Armpit.
Nicole from Presley's Pantry is a girl after my own heart with her easy to make Homemade Pizza topped with slices of tomato.
Vianney from Sweet Life, shares her recipe for Salsa Cruda, made with refreshing pieces of jicama. I think I might have to make this for my Super Bowl party this weekend.
And last but not least, my contribution to the Food of the Month Club. Taking advantage of the beautiful and tasty cherry tomatoes that were available here in Mexico in early January, I made this Cherry Tomato & Panela Cheese Salad with Chile de Arbol Infused Olive Oil.
Before sitting down to watch Eat Pray Love, I cooked up a plate of Spaghetti al Pomodoro.
And I had to include this recipe for Tomato Cobbler, which was one of the first recipes I thought of when I was dreaming up with the idea for Food of the Month Club.
