Tomatoes fresh out of your summer garden are always a special treat. The great thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to wait till your tomatoes turn red to enjoy them!  Fried green tomatoes are wonderful for breakfast with eggs and bacon or for dinner with pork chops and applesauce. - Try them with topped with a swirl of honey, spicy salsa, or even a dollop of sour cream. So good!

• 3 medium-size green tomatoes
• ½ C. flour
• ½ C cornmeal
• ½ tsp. pepper
• ¾ tsp salt (or to taste)

Slice tomatoes and salt them to draw out water. Let stand for 30 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel. Dip the tomato slices into ½ C. of buttermilk. Combine rest of the ingredients and coat tomato slices. Add 2 C. vegetable oil to a skillet and heat until a tomato slice placed into the pan starts to sizzle. Cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Serve immediately. Enjoy!!!
