OOOHHYAAA! Girl you are talking my kind of sandwich! In my lifetime I have gone with my parents to pick tomatoes for canning, freezing and anything else you can do to a tomato. We took a loaf of bread, water, cooler and mayonnaise and had our first sandwiches in the field because we couldn't wait. Oh! Forgot to mention the salt and pepper. You ENJOY yourself babygirl! God bless!
Loved BLTs for dinner heavy on the tomato. Every Diner every mom and pop lunch place every place I went Long Island New York have BLTs for lunch. Then I moved up north to New Hampshire BLTs abound. I think BLTs are an American Dream lunch. Just make sure the bacon is not too greasy
I LOVE tomato sandwiches. 🤤 I toast my homemade bread. Spread Mayo, sprinkle with salt and generously ground black pepper. Your channel has inspired me to grow a garden. So far I have enjoyed fried green tomatoes, and cucumbers. This afternoon will be my first tomato sandwich of this season. Thank you for taking the time to produce this channel. I am a newer gardener and I have learned so much. I have gardened in the past and had such sad experiences that I had about sworn off from ever gardening again. This new knowledge that you have taught has given my hubby and I so much encouragement. I have never had results like this year. Thank you!
That anticipation to taste your first perfect ripe tomato of the season is the main motivation for so many gardeners - thank you for giving this simple ritual the dignity it deserves.
I'll dip the back of a spoon into melted bacon drippings and "dot" both sides of a warm biscuit with it, add a thick slice of tomato, salt/pepper...heaven! Try it!
Ok. So I know all of us watching know this. But you need to understand how awesome you are Jess. The sheer joy and excitement you have in a simple tomato sandwich and you ability to convey through the screen is astounding. I literally had tears of excitement and joy watching your face as you took that first bite. Only a few weeks behind you here in Northern Missouri and I am ten times more excited about my first blushing tomato
More mayo!!! White bread - fresh - non toasted. Prefer thinner slices, but layered. Salt. Good, cold ice tea sitting on porch or under tree!!! To die for. ❤️❤️❤️
I grew up in Brooklyn NY, my grandparents lived on the next block. If you’re Italian, even if you live in the city you grow stuff. My grandpa grew amazing things in his little backyard every summer. I can remember picking a juicy ripe tomato, wiping it off with my shirt and eating it right there in the garden. Heaven. Such wonderful memories.
What a beautiful person you are. I found your channel earlier this month, and watch it daily now. I'm an avid gardener, and it brings me much happiness!
My grandmother was Italian so tomatoes were her passion! When she would come visit me for a week in the summer, I would bake bread and oftentimes have homemade mayo, tomatoes and thinly sliced cucumbers and grandma always wanted mozzarella cheese too. Such a great memory, one of my favorite sandwiches and definitely her favorite sandwich, always made her smile. She would always tell me that I took after her father who was a truck farmer and loved gardening. She was so proud that I love Veda to garden. ❤️
@@breezybest6064 yes so good, make it the same way just with cucumbers. And I'm not a big tomato fan either. I am growing a few varieties in our garden this year to find something I like.
I totally understand and am so with you on the importance of memorializing the first proper tomato sandwich of the year. It's is a diving gift. I am so happy for you. Eagerly awaiting our first tomatoes, though we're nearly a month away here in Washington state. Though I grew up farming and always grew tomatoes for friends and family , I am just now at 31 years young coming to appreciate the magistracy of the home grown tomato. Like you, I will only accept the divine fruit of the homegrown tomato. There is nothing in this world like a juicy BLT or some fat slicers with good balsamic vinegar and a little salt. The most divine salad. Cheers, Jess. You've earned it!
I just enjoyed my first of the year last night for supper it was amazing!! Toast, mayo, tomato, salt and pepper. (Sometimes I add fresh basil) I also wait all year for this. It is THE symbol of summer for me. Nothing like it. 🍅
I was born and raised in Maine, but my mom was a true southern bred lady. We grew up on tomato 🍅 sandwiches, and now I live in SC, and I beg to differ, that the mater sandwich with Dukes mayo and salt and pepper is surely a Southern thang. It is the food of true royalty! LOVED YOUR APRON!
Oy my mouth is watering I’m a few weeks away. I actually eat mine open faced so I can have two😉 Seeded Italian toasted, mayo, maldon flake salt sometimes pepper. I love the dark tomatoes the best ❤️ As the season progresses I’ll start adding smashed avocado... but the first one is pure - CANT WAIT!
grew up in ohio. we had a huge 3 family sized garden.my fondest childhood memory is up early morning weeding the garden with my grandmother, then grabbing the perfectly ripend tomato warmed from the morning sun and make a fresh white bread slathered in mayo and as much of that sun warmed tomato as i could cram into that sandwich. i would eat it outside under a huge shade tree .with every bite i'd closed my eyes tasting those flavors blending andthe warmth of sun in the tomato was like eating rays of sunshine. pure joy!
Duke's Mayo? Now I know you're from the South. It was always Hellman's in New York and then I moved to New Hampshire and it was Cain's then I moved down south and it's Duke Mayonnaise.
My Momma used to eat tomato sandwiches as often as we could afford them. Now I make them with my Daughters and I share my first experiences. Huge slice of tomato, for sure! This will be the first year in our new home where I can grow our tomatoes. I will cry when I make my first sandwich. Thank you for this video.
One of my favorites! Nothing like that first tomato sandwich of the year......ahhh memories...tomato sandwich...tomato gravy....brings back every memory of being on my grandpa & grandmas farm every summer....and since I have been grown I grow my own each year. Yum!
Looks delicious! We did not grow up with mayo on, just thick butter, thick tomato slices and very often some cheese slices as well but I want to try the mayo option
Yumm! Grew up with white bread, plenty of mayo, tomato, onion, salt and pepper. Watching your joy eating that first tomato sandwich of the year was adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Open faced sandwich: Garden tomatoes on a toasted piece of bread that is spread with olive tapenade, topped with fresh basil and drizzled with a good balsamic vinegar. 😋
I LOVE tomato sandwiches with or without bacon and definitely with Miracle Whip. Sometimes with salt and pepper. You're soo lucky to have tomatoes already. I started getting flowers here in SE Michigan. Just like you I never buy store bought tomatoes, not after growing my own. I go all year without them, they have zero taste.
I grew up eating tomato sandwiches. My grandfather would slice a tomato and put gravy on it for breakfast. He made it look so good when he ate it. Great memory! I love it as well! Thanks for sharing. I had a tomato sandwich for my lunch today. Yummy.
We love tomatoe sandwiches up here in Alberta!! We make sourdough from scratch and lots of mayo! We eat ours open face to save on calories haha!! So good
Jess, there’s nothing better than a fresh ripe tomato from the garden between two slices of toasted bread with some mayo sprinkled with some salt n pepper! Yuuummmmm
I grew up in Massachusetts and have lived in Michigan for the past 25 years. I never heard of a tomato sandwich until a neighbor who grew up in Minnesota told me about them. I LOVE them! White bread, mayo & salt and they are extra good when the tomato is fresh picked and still warm from the sun. I'm still a few weeks from ripe tomatoes up here.
I grew up in rural NY State and here we eat our tomato sandwiches with toast, mayo, lots of black pepper, American cheese, and tomato. That's how my dad taught me. Reminds me of my childhood. 🙂
Cucumbers as a side adds a fresh crunch!!! True country lunch. Ok,,,, process the bacon or country ham into your mayo,,, toast only one side of your bread,,, fresh beet greens,, fat slice of tomato,,,beet greens,,, cucumber slices,,, game on!! Put the toasted side of bread toward inside of sandwich so things don't slide around. Those dark green beet tops add a nice freshness. The cucumbers crunch and light flavor help with the fatty mayo not overwhelming. The bacon/ham in the mayo,,,,if not a meat eater, could do avocado in its place. When you have this simple country lunch you know it's going to be a great day!!!!! Jess, you opened up many peoples eyes to why gardeners do what we do.
White bread, lots of mayo, red garden tomatoes, and salt. We only ate them in the summer. I thought it was to reduce our meat bill but we all enjoyed them immensely. My father's family came from the south so I think he brought the idea to the family. Thanks for sharing.
I was in SC for a few years, I am born and raised in CT. I grew a garden with some Tomatoes. I asked a local woman friend if she would like a Tomato sandwich, SHE NEVER HEARD OF IT!! Make mine plain white bread, sliced tomatoes and salt and pepper!! Grilled cheese with Tomato is awesome too!!
I love tomato sandwiches 😍 Mayo, tomato, salt & pepper, used to be white bread but now a keto alternative. Thanks so much for sharing all that you do. Just found your videos as well as Meg & Ben's and Mike & Lacy. Love watching all of you. Aka: Theresa
I grew my first ever tomatoes this year, and ate my first EVER tomato toasted sandwhich. I was completely BLOWN AWAY at how DELICIOUS it was! I have never been a big fan of tomatoes, but after having a homegrown tomato I am so EXCITED for next years tomatoes, I'm probably going to grow ALOT more next year hahahaha
I was introduced to the tomato sandwich while doing an internship in Turkey. I frequently had them for BREAKFAST. A nice bakery style roll (like a tiny loaf of Italian bread), with whole salad-sized tomato, sliced and shingled with sheepsmilk cheese (kinda like feta) and a whole, long, skinny, green chili. sometimes the chili was mild, sometimes it was a raging inferno. Who doesn't want to play Turkish Roulette for breakfast? Now that I'm home in Pennsylvania I'll use whatever type of bread I have, whatever tomato is ready and feta cheese and salt. p.s. your tomato-ness is such an inspiration! I'm watching your old videos as I prepare for this year's garden.
I learned to eat “tomato toast”. A neighbor, originally from Germany, taught me. You toast 2 pieces of bread, spread butter on the toast, slice a homegrown tomato, place 1-2 slices (depending on the size of the tomato) on each piece of bread, and sprinkle salt and pepper. The. Best. Ever.
I was raised in Canada, in a very British family. My perfect tomato sandwich: English Muffin - toasted, Mayo, Salt & Pepper. (the shape of the english muffin is perfect for the tomato) Love your channel, thanks for sharing :)
I am the oldest of six and my dad had huge gardens growing up. The thing he always fixed us was a potato tomato sandwich. Toasted white bread, Mayo on both slices, thin sliced potatoes raw, tomato slices and salt and pepper. Yummy 😋 I still eat them today!
So many comments and the conversation continues...Like other posters, I teared up while viewing this video! We LOVE tomato sandwiches in our family--so much so that I am doing an experiment. I have kept 2 Golden Jubilee tomatoes and 2 of my volunteer cherry tomato cuttings alive ALL winter (in my bathroom), just so I can have a head start on our tomato harvest for the year--I hope it works...I don't eat grain anymore, but I make my own Cashew Butter bread, toast it, add a swipe of mayo, salt/pepper, and whatever tomato variety I choose from the garden, and wander into my blissful 'happy place.'
Definitely going to try this, it might not be a tomato sandwich if I add avocado but I love avocado with tomatoes on sprouted grain bread with a gooood rich olive oil, coarse salt and pepper 🥳 yum!!
Our Dr. Whyche and Kellogg breakfast tomatoes have ripened! I made this comment last year, you inspired me to garden from seed and to trust God. Let me tell you God was with me and my family at every step, miracle after miracle. God gave grace and strength to hold onto Him, even when we wanted to give up, even in the small things, honestly He encouraged us not to give up on the tomato plants that looked so limpy and pathetic as I hardened them off and transplanted them. In June they were growing, had flowers but mostly leaves and no fruit. We prayed with faith as small as a mustard seed and now, glory be to God, there is so much fruit and they tastes SO GOOD! Thank you so much for sharing, for being an inspiration and sharing the light of Christ, God is doing a tremendous work in you and your family, you’ve planted seeds of hope in others including me. In this process my faith in God is being strengthened and renewed, He’s teaching me so much and I still have much to learn in this adventure with Him. I didn’t know just how much He cared and that God actually does see me, as crazy as it sounds, in this process I’m learning of His faithfulness and loving kindness. I really want to thank you Jess, you are a blessing. 💗 May God bless you and your family in Jesus name. 💕
Lately, to the mayo, (I like alot more), & salt, I add freshly ground black pepper, fresh purple basil from my garden, & balsamic vinegar with a touch of olive oil; words do not suffice! And have we ever got a long growing season here in Georgia. I've been on this beautiful earth for 66 yrs & a tomato sandwich may be my top favorite treat! It's simplicity adds to the wonder of it. (I keep wanting to write that it would be my last meal request if I was ever asked~ lol!)
Looks delish! I’m from Canada and I grew up eating tomato and cheese sandwiches (my mum’s English and it’s what she ate as a kid). My garden tomatoes are in the budding flower stage; it’ll be August before I enjoy my labours, but enjoying living vicariously through you and your sandwich! 😋
I can't wait until we have fresh tomatoes and I as well grew up with Tomatoes sandwiches. We are mayo salt and pepper and homemade bread. God's blessing to you and yours
Toasted bread and mayo. I’m so excited for all of this!! We probably won’t be getting any slicers for another month or so!! But I’m drooling just thinking about it! Thank you Jess. Bless you!! 🌈❤️
Toasted sourdough bread homegrown tomatoes with mayonnaise, salted to taste is my very favourite sandwich, hands down! My mouth is watering watching and listening... I’m a west coast Canadian
Beefeater. My Grandmother bought some roadside and I Loved!!! them so much. Watching your videos finally got to me and I'm waiting for my garden beds (3x6 bags) to be delivered (Saturday!! So excited) It's a late start but I can hear you encouraging me lol. Have Beefeater seeds to start (need to find video on them) Excitement turns to worry, but I'm pressing on. Worst case, I learn something to insure they grow next year, but oh, how I hope and pray for some this year. Thanks for sharing!!! So grateful ❤️😊❤️
Oh, my fav!!!! My grandma turned me on to tomato sandwiches when I was a little girl. Cannot wait until our tomatoes are ready!!!! Such a cute video and love your apron!!!!!
Yumm. Love tomato sandwiches. Honey wheat bread, miracle whip, salt and pepper and a big slab of tomato. I have been picking cucumbers this week and watching my green tomatoes. They are starting to turn whitish, it won't be long. Can't wait.
I'm an Okie who has lived in CA most of my life, but it was my OK grandmother who introduced me to tomato sandwiches. I like mine on untoasted white bread with lots of mayo, several thin slices of tomato topped with kosher salt because it makes the sandwich juicier and more tomato-y. I, too, don't eat any tomatoes that I haven't grown. The last time I did, I swore of even the heirloom tomatoes in the store because they didn't have that sunshiny flavor I love.
I don't think I've ever teared up watching someone eat a tomato sandwich before, but your joy is so palpable.
Allisone Brussin ya, I know. Me too😉
Allisone Brussin Me too!
Omg I did too
I teared up because mine aren't ripe yet lol.
The joy of the Lord 💕
Raised I'm florida born in Cuba.. Cubans eat their 🍅 sandwich with toasted bread. Couple slices of red onions, tomato, salt and olive oil! Yum.! Lol
ari gonzalez Toasted bread ONLY. So good.
For some reason i never thought about putting onions on one, gotta try this
This sounds really good
Olive oil instead of mayo. Sounds amazing.
Hey thx, will try it in the am...
words never uttered in my house....the kids can just have that (bacon)
Yummy! Thats exactly why I grow tomatoes in the first place.
OOOHHYAAA! Girl you are talking my kind of sandwich! In my lifetime I have gone with my parents to pick tomatoes for canning, freezing and anything else you can do to a tomato.

Bunny bread, untoasted, lots of real mayo, RED slicer tomato, lots of salt and pepper, eaten over the sink with juice dripping down your elbow.
This is me!
It’s the juice dripping down the elbow for me 🤤
Bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches...mayo and toasted white bread! Yum yum!
AndreaLyn in AR definitely my favorite way to eat them as well!!
Loved BLTs for dinner heavy on the tomato. Every Diner every mom and pop lunch place every place I went Long Island New York have BLTs for lunch. Then I moved up north to New Hampshire BLTs abound. I think BLTs are an American Dream lunch. Just make sure the bacon is not too greasy
I LOVE tomato sandwiches. 🤤
I toast my homemade bread. Spread Mayo, sprinkle with salt and generously ground black pepper.

Yellow, red, or Cherokee Purple! Love them all!!!

Fresh mozzarella and basil, drizzled with EVOO, on thick cut Italian bread with the sesame seeds on the outside....yummo!

Toasted bread, butter, big tomato slice and a fried egg. Love it!
Mayo, white bread, a good tomato like yours, salt, a little bit of pepper, and some fresh basil leaves 🤤🤤🤤
Lexi Titus yessss I love adding basil to anything tomato.
Lexi Titus You’re making my mouth water
Yum!!
Ohhhh! Yes basil is a great idea!
A grand day on Roots and Refuge farm, a very grand day, yummmmm. Blessings.
I also love tomato sandwiches, but I also love to have them on left over biscuits from breakfast. So So Good.
Ooooooo.... now that sounds good!!! Going to have to try that. ❤️
I'll dip the back of a spoon into melted bacon drippings and "dot" both sides of a warm biscuit with it, add a thick slice of tomato, salt/pepper...heaven! Try it!
Ok. So I know all of us watching know this. But you need to understand how awesome you are Jess.

I literally had tears of excitement and joy watching your face as you took that first bite. Only a few weeks behind you here in Northern Missouri and I am ten times more excited about my first blushing tomato
Love ,love tomato sandwiches! My comfort food. White fresh bread, heavy on the mayonnaise, big slice of a red tomato and sea salt.
Look at You! My mouth is watering!
More mayo!!! White bread - fresh - non toasted. Prefer thinner slices, but layered. Salt. Good, cold ice tea sitting on porch or under tree!!! To die for. ❤️❤️❤️
Ya, I'm a thin sliced girl too, but that looked so yummy and interesting Ima try it;)

White bread not toasted with salt and pepper and heavy on the mayonnaise
Luciann Schankweiler my mom ate it the same way.
Same !!!
Agreed!
Also very much agree Luciann
Absolutely what I was going to say! But the bread has to be fresh!
I love getting to be in your kitchen! I know it’s not your favorite kind of video to shoot- but I’m grateful!
My mom loved tomato and Vidalia onion sandwiches with mayo. I like BLT sandwiches the best.
I love to basil on mine!
What a beautiful person you are. I found your channel earlier this month, and watch it daily now. I'm an avid gardener, and it brings me much happiness!
I can almost taste summer. I'm sitting in my living room rugged up and toasty warm in the middle of winter dreaming of my summer to come.
Tomatos, salt, and mayo on sourdough or rye! My grandmother's has hers with butter instead of mayo. But they're all so good!
My grandmother was Italian so tomatoes were her passion! When she would come visit me for a week in the summer, I would bake bread and oftentimes have homemade mayo, tomatoes and thinly sliced cucumbers and grandma always wanted mozzarella cheese too.

Woohoo, first tomato sandwich!! I can't wait for my first cucumber sandwich! yummy!!!
I don't like raw tomatoes but a cucumber sandwich sounds awesome! I'm going to make one right now! Thanks!
@@breezybest6064 yes so good, make it the same way just with cucumbers. And I'm not a big tomato fan either. I am growing a few varieties in our garden this year to find something I like.
I can't wait for my cucumbers to flower and set some fruit.
I won't describe my recent cuke sandwich then,😋, but your right on in relishing that .
That sounds awesome. I'm going to try it.

Toasted English Muffin, Mayo, salt, pepper and potato chips! Yes! 🤪🍅
Sourdough bread, toasted. Sliced tomatoes. Salt and pepper. Amazing. Both my boys love that too.
Two videos?? I feel like I hit the jackpot today
Britt's Little Bunch right!
Grainy, seedy bread, lightly toasted, mayo, tomato, sweet onion, salt, and cracked pepper and sometimes extra sharp cheese...YUM ♥️♥️♥️
Oy my mouth is watering
I’m a few weeks away.
I actually eat mine open faced so I can have two😉
Seeded Italian toasted, mayo, maldon flake salt sometimes pepper. I love the dark tomatoes the best ❤️
As the season progresses I’ll start adding smashed avocado... but the first one is pure - CANT WAIT!
The open-faced + seeded toasted bread but otherwise keeping it simple is what I'm talking about! That's how I like them too
Kayleigh Saum my new favorite is sliced kalamata artisan bread toasted, little bit of lite mayo ❤️
Caprese! Tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper. So good.
Has to be a toasted tomato and cucumber sandwich , with butter or mayo & little salt. Flashback to my childhood 😊
Ooohh yummy! I think a little puddle of balsamic vinegar on the side for dippin' would hit the spot so perfectly with this recipe! 🍅😋
2 vids in a day :) yay!!!

Non toasted white bread, heavy on the Dukes mayonnaise (both sides of the bread), homegrown tomato, salt and pepper and I'm set.
Duke's Mayo? Now I know you're from the South. It was always Hellman's in New York and then I moved to New Hampshire and it was Cain's then I moved down south and it's Duke Mayonnaise.
@@songbirdforjesus2381 yep south Georgia. Dukes and only Dukes for me lol.
@@songbirdforjesus2381
My hands down favorite is Hellmens mayo.
My Momma used to eat tomato sandwiches as often as we could afford them. Now I make them with my Daughters and I share my first experiences. Huge slice of tomato, for sure! This will be the first year in our new home where I can grow our tomatoes. I will cry when I make my first sandwich. Thank you for this video.
I’m so jealous!!
My tomatoes have just started with the tiniest ones and still mostly blossoms.
My first sandwich will hopefully be in a few weeks.
One of my favorites! Nothing like that first tomato sandwich of the year......ahhh memories...tomato sandwich...tomato gravy....brings back every memory of being on my grandpa & grandmas farm every summer....and since I have been grown I grow my own each year. Yum!
Love those! Only thing I would add is a bit of chives or green onion, and pepper. Organic flour bread I prefer, if it's available.
Ohhhh , chives sounds so wonderful, I need to try that.
I would never have thought of that. . .. thanks for posting!
Thank you for always being so bubbly and for having informative videos.
Looks delicious! We did not grow up with mayo on, just thick butter, thick tomato slices and very often some cheese slices as well but I want to try the mayo option
Nothing like mayo and tomato together.
Yumm! Grew up with white bread, plenty of mayo, tomato, onion, salt and pepper. Watching your joy eating that first tomato sandwich of the year was adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Texas toast, tomato, bacon and mayo.
I bet it would be fantastic with pesto and cheese though.
But classic is usually best lol
The one video we’ve all been truly waiting for.
Family from WI but I grew up in AZ and only ever had BLT’s. 😁
Oh baby girl try garden fresh tomatoe and cheese...white bread not toasted... lovely...only thing ... Buy two loves of bread.lol
Open faced sandwich: Garden tomatoes on a toasted piece of bread that is spread with olive tapenade, topped with fresh basil and drizzled with a good balsamic vinegar. 😋
On toasted Ciabatta ... that would be so lovely!
This is so funny. I JUST ate my first one and then got the notification for this. 😂
White bread, mayo, big slice of tomato and freshly sliced cucumber fresh out of the garden! Soooo good...
I LOVE tomato sandwiches with or without bacon and definitely with Miracle Whip. Sometimes with salt and pepper. You're soo lucky to have tomatoes already. I started getting flowers here in SE Michigan.
Just like you I never buy store bought tomatoes, not after growing my own. I go all year without them, they have zero taste.

Ive never heard of tomato sandwiches and I LOVE tomatoes. I’m growing them for the first time ever so I can’t wait!!!
There is NOTHING like home grown tomatoes!!! Tomatoes are also MY favorite thing to grow in the garden. I tend to plant way more then I need :)

I am the oldest of six and my dad had huge gardens growing up. The thing he always fixed us was a potato tomato sandwich. Toasted white bread, Mayo on both slices, thin sliced potatoes raw, tomato slices and salt and pepper. Yummy 😋 I still eat them today!
So many comments and the conversation continues...Like other posters, I teared up while viewing this video! We LOVE tomato sandwiches in our family--so much so that I am doing an experiment. I have kept 2 Golden Jubilee tomatoes and 2 of my volunteer cherry tomato cuttings alive ALL winter (in my bathroom), just so I can have a head start on our tomato harvest for the year--I hope it works...I don't eat grain anymore, but I make my own Cashew Butter bread, toast it, add a swipe of mayo, salt/pepper, and whatever tomato variety I choose from the garden, and wander into my blissful 'happy place.'
I love how the yellow, white and dark red flowers on the table match the colors of the tomato, bacon and mayo :D
Wow! And I thought I was extremely color~observant!!
The smash down is a real thing after being made and before the first bite! My favorite too.
I LOVE tomato sandwiches...white bread (not toasted), mayo, home grown tomato and salt! It's the sandwich of summer!
I love this! So much joy permeating from you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Homemade white bread, kosher salt, ground black pepper, mayo and a tomato from my garden. Best thing ever.
Definitely going to try this, it might not be a tomato sandwich if I add avocado but I love avocado with tomatoes on sprouted grain bread with a gooood rich olive oil, coarse salt and pepper 🥳 yum!!
Our Dr. Whyche and Kellogg breakfast tomatoes have ripened! I made this comment last year, you inspired me to garden from seed and to trust God. Let me tell you God was with me and my family at every step, miracle after miracle. God gave grace and strength to hold onto Him, even when we wanted to give up, even in the small things, honestly He encouraged us not to give up on the tomato plants that looked so limpy and pathetic as I hardened them off and transplanted them. In June they were growing, had flowers but mostly leaves and no fruit. We prayed with faith as small as a mustard seed and now, glory be to God, there is so much fruit and they tastes SO GOOD! Thank you so much for sharing, for being an inspiration and sharing the light of Christ, God is doing a tremendous work in you and your family, you’ve planted seeds of hope in others including me. In this process my faith in God is being strengthened and renewed, He’s teaching me so much and I still have much to learn in this adventure with Him. I didn’t know just how much He cared and that God actually does see me, as crazy as it sounds, in this process I’m learning of His faithfulness and loving kindness. I really want to thank you Jess, you are a blessing. 💗 May God bless you and your family in Jesus name. 💕
Lately, to the mayo, (I like alot more), & salt, I add freshly ground black pepper, fresh purple basil from my garden, & balsamic vinegar with a touch of olive oil; words do not suffice! And have we ever got a long growing season here in Georgia. I've been on this beautiful earth for 66 yrs & a tomato sandwich may be my top favorite treat! It's simplicity adds to the wonder of it. (I keep wanting to write that it would be my last meal request if I was ever asked~ lol!)
Omg I suddenly started craving for this delicious tomato with roasted garlic aoli, sweet basil leaves and thin slices of medium rare ribeye!!!!
Looks delish! I’m from Canada and I grew up eating tomato and cheese sandwiches (my mum’s English and it’s what she ate as a kid). My garden tomatoes are in the budding flower stage; it’ll be August before I enjoy my labours, but enjoying living vicariously through you and your sandwich! 😋
I can't wait until we have fresh tomatoes and I as well grew up with Tomatoes sandwiches. We are mayo salt and pepper and homemade bread. God's blessing to you and yours
Toasted bread and mayo.
I’m so excited for all of this!!
We probably won’t be getting any slicers for another month or so!! But I’m drooling just thinking about it!
Thank you Jess. Bless you!! 🌈❤️
Toasted sourdough bread homegrown tomatoes with mayonnaise, salted to taste is my very favourite sandwich, hands down!
My mouth is watering watching and listening... I’m a west coast Canadian
Sourdough lightly toasted. mayo, pink salt!!! TY Jess!!!
Beefeater. My Grandmother bought some roadside and I Loved!!! them so much.
Watching your videos finally got to me and I'm waiting for my garden beds (3x6 bags) to be delivered (Saturday!! So excited) It's a late start but I can hear you encouraging me lol. Have Beefeater seeds to start (need to find video on them) Excitement turns to worry, but I'm pressing on. Worst case, I learn something to insure they grow next year, but oh, how I hope and pray for some this year. Thanks for sharing!!! So grateful ❤️😊❤️
“The kitchen table” I like that name for a segment of videos over the summer
So happy to see more cooking videos!❤❤
I really love tomato pie. That's what I do with my summer tomatoes. I love it.
Oh, my fav!!!! My grandma turned me on to tomato sandwiches when I was a little girl. Cannot wait until our tomatoes are ready!!!! Such a cute video and love your apron!!!!!
I never eat tomatoes unless it's homegrown. I'm from NYC & my family has been eating tomato sam. for years!
Love them!
Yumm. Love tomato sandwiches. Honey wheat bread, miracle whip, salt and pepper and a big slab of tomato. I have been picking cucumbers this week and watching my green tomatoes. They are starting to turn whitish, it won't be long. Can't wait.
I'm an Okie who has lived in CA most of my life, but it was my OK grandmother who introduced me to tomato sandwiches. I like mine on untoasted white bread with lots of mayo, several thin slices of tomato topped with kosher salt because it makes the sandwich juicier and more tomato-y. I, too, don't eat any tomatoes that I haven't grown. The last time I did, I swore of even the heirloom tomatoes in the store because they didn't have that sunshiny flavor I love.
