I say this because for men that have prostate issues, things like lycopene are important. Don't be tricked thinking that eating lots of tomatoes are gong to help you. I just thought that word should be out, no one should ever get dooped.

When I was a girl growing up in North Carolina, we ate tomatoes almost every meal. Breakfast was diced tomatoes tossed into scrambled eggs with a bit of shredded cheese, lunch was thick slices of yummy tomato on homemade bread with "Dukes" mayonaise sometimes with thick crisp bacon, sometimes with "Country" ham (I use Best Foods or homemade mayo today and skip the meat) always served with simple potato chips and iced tea, and dinner was a simple salad of homegrown lettuce and other vegetables from the garden with big chunks of tomato to accompany any grilled meat or fish and other garden fresh vegies such as okra, squash or grilled corn. Summer and really flavorful tomatoes...what could be better? There really is nothing better than good summer tomatoes, especially organically homegrown ones.

We use an old neighborhood recipe from when everyone would harvest at the same time, spend most of the day cooking up the ketchup and useing an old bottle capping machine to fill all the old wine/7-up bottles we could get our hands on. Now the production is small, made once a summer from farmers' market tomatoes from Dirty Girl Farms. there is nothing better than home made ketchup from home grown tomatoes.

Nothing beats a chunky marinara on whole wheat pasta with shaved parm. However, every summer I look forward to a fresh caprese salad: ripe tomatoes, just-picked basil, hunks of mozzarella, olive oil, salt and pepper...it's one of my favorite things on EARTH.

I love tomatoes, I grow them and use them extensively in chutneys, curries, appetizers, salads and what not! I think my favorite is a tomato chutney (http://onestopeats.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/savory-tamatar-tomato-chutney/) that goes well with almost everything! Think my next fav is Bruschetta.... mmm! as I type this I can actually smell the goodess (http://onestopeats.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/bruschetta-and-asparagus-with-lemon-sauce/).
