Fresh Tomato Recipes

I know it's really, really early to be thinking about fresh tomatoes but I just couldn't help sharing.  I'm cooking for a fund raiser this weekend and one of the ingredients that I'm using is fresh tomatoes. Friends from my local farmers market provided me with these beauties from their hot house.  Just let me say…they are delicious and are making me excited for summer!  Now that I've tasted a few of these beauties, my mind just started to wonder off to recipe land…
