I had to repot my aloe plant a few weeks ago because it was getting too big for its old container. I didn't have any soil on hand at the time, so I bought a cheap bag from the hardware store so I could hurry up and get the job done. Fast forward a few weeks... I went to water said aloe plant and noticed a weird, leggy looking stem growing in the pot along side it. I immediately get agitated, telling myself that's what I get for buying the cheap bag of soil, and pull the stem from the pot. I mean, who has time to weed indoor plants? Then, the scent hits me and I'm like "I recognize this scent. This is a tomato plant!" Just to confirm though, I pull up my plant identifying app and indeed, it said it was a tomato plant. What kind though is anybody's guess. Will it be little cherry tomatoes, beefsteak, roma? I don't know, but I planted it out in my garden with the other tomatoes and will keep an eye on it to see if it thrives and produces any fruit in a few weeks. The suspense will kill me before then, surely. I honestly feel like this is more of a post for the Dull Men's Club Facebook group, getting excited over the possibility of a free tomato plant! Almost like the suspense of getting a prize inside of the Crack Jack Box. Y'all, if this doesn't confirm that I have no life, I'm not sure what would LOL. With having tomatoes on the brain and in anticipation of my freebie plant blooming, I decided to lean towards this Zucchini with Tomatoes recipe from Golden Blossom Honey for this week's honey post share.  

This is a recipe that makes for a great summertime side dish, but it's also one that I would eat as a full meal on its own. It highlights some of summer's best produce- juicy tomatoes, zucchini, and basil plucked fresh from the garden. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, or for a warm day lunch option when you need something light and refreshing to eat. My garden always produces more tomatoes and zucchini than I know what to do with, so if yours is the same, this is going to be the recipe you're going to want to turn to time and again for the next several months. And if you're also like me and share your excess bounty, print it out and include it with any gift baskets so your recipients can enjoy this dish as well.
