There's something about the smell of marshmallows roasting over an open fire, the beauty of sparklers lit at dusk, and the feeling of watermelon juice running down your cheeks. Summer is filled with a lifetime of memories, traditions, and of course, some good 'ol American fun. One great thing about this hot season is that it is completely predictable. There will always be a neighborhood barbecue, everyone will always wear blue jean shorts, and there will always be a pie-eating contest. But one great thing about the "predictable" summer season is that we can have fun playing with food, adding a twist here and introducing a fusion there. One summer favorite of ours is Southern tomato pie. If you haven’t tried it yet, imagine a wonderfully colorful, juicy, and robust vegetable tart. It’s perfect as a breakfast dish, next to quiche or fruit salad, its great as an afternoon lunch with sweet tea, and of course, it makes the best addition to any potluck dinner! For a modern twist, drizzle with our smoky and sweet Chipotle Infused Honey!
