T'maters with Garlic, Yup, That About Says It All!

If you've looked at my profile photos you'll see that I love home grown veggies.  There is nothing that compares to the flavor of fresh, as we say here in the south, 'maters picked right off the vine and sliced with your supper.  Last year I had a bountiful tomato harvest.  I canned most of them and gave many away to friends and neighbors.  I also love freshly made tomato sauces with Italian herbs and garlic.  Earlier this year, I'd opened the last of my canned tomatoes, and I needed some for our spaghetti dinner.  I had a coupon for two cans of Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with Garlic and thought I'd try it.  The first thing I noticed was the generous size of the tomatoes!  They were diced chucky like I dice my own. I could actually see the herbs and garlic clinging to the tomatoes. The tomatoes also have those beautiful fire roasted grill marks!  I tossed both cans into the spaghetti.  No leftovers here, the Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with Garlic were great!  I've continued to buy them as my "If I didn't grow them myself, my top of the list diced tomatoes" choice.  In my opinion, I'd have to say, "Fire roasted 'maters with garlic, yup, that about says it all!"

Nutrition Facts:  One half cup of Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with Garlic is only 25 calories, with zero fat and supply 2g of daily fiber.  However if you're watching your salt intake they have 300mg of sodium.

Yum. Yeah. I think I would like these. I usually get the lower priced store brands and add my own spices. But, you have me thinking now.

AnnaB~! not only do I love your reviews but your comments are just as awesome, lol! I think your mom and I must be related because there is nothing better than pickin' a sun ripened 'mater slicin' it into quarters and eatin' them with that dash of salt! I also like the idea of cherry 'maters on fried rice! Thanks for the thumbs up!

Oh YAH, Honey, you've rung a bell here! A day without tomatoes is ... well, I don't know what but NOT GOOD. Alas, I don't have a garden (or room for one) but I am crazy about tomatoes ... especially those cherry ones from Israel. I like to slice them in half (to keep them from exploding when they heat up) and top certain dinners when I reheat in the microwave. Sounds wierd, I know, but cherry tomatoes heated up are great on top of Oriental food, especially fried rice. Well, Boy, I could just go on and ON when it comes to tomatoes. My Grandpa used to grow them and my Mom didn't stand on ceremony -- she would go right out there to the garden with a salt shaker in her hand and start eating right off the vine. Thanks for the great tomato review -- I love canned diced tomatoes but hadn't tried this one yet. Is this one of the longest comments you've received so far? Have a nice evening!
