Waterfront Dining in New Jersey

As many of you know, I live “down the shore” here in beautiful New Jersey. You might say that the beach is in my blood. My Grandfather was one of the founders of Surfrider Beach Club and the original owner of the Tradewinds in Sea Bright.

Jersey Girls have Great Tomatoes

Ah yes, great tomatoes indeed. July is the longest month of the year when you are waiting for your backyard tomatoes to ripen. I am a bit obsessed actually since we are using my father’s Japanese Tomato Ring method. My son and I are out there measuring them on a weekly basis. I’m happy to say that my childhood memory served me correctly. I remembered the plants growing taller than my 6′ 2″ father and we have well exceeded this mark. The plants are now at 6′8″. As you can see in the picture with my youngest son, these babies are huge. My research tells me that they can grow to 10 feet. My stakes are only 7 feet, so I’m in trouble if they keep at it until September and I am definitely going to need a ladder.

Grilled Tomato and Cheese

This is a delicious and different appetizer for your next barbecue. Think grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches for grown ups. The Oregano also makes it a mini rustic pizza. We made this Friday night for some company and everyone ooohed and ahhhed so much I made it for a different batch of company the next night and I’m really contemplating walking to the Famers’ market today for some more tomatoes because these things are so stinkin’ good.

This recipe comes from The South Beach Diet cookbook believe it or not and is one of my favorite marinades for Flank Steak. I know there are a thousand recipes for Flank Steak out there, but this one is so foolproof, I rarely deviate. It’s also super easy. »» Grilled Flank Steak with Simple but Tasty Marinade
