Hey there! Checking my email this morning I saw I was featured in the August issue of the A Bit of Magnolia Newsletter from Mississippi Magazine! The article was on BLTs and they featured my 2011 winning recipe for Fried Green Tomato BLTs! This sandwich is hearty, crunchy, juicy, and just plain delicious, y’all!

It’s the peak of the season for vine-ripe tomatoes, and everyone loves a
BLT! This Southern favorite is the perfect summertime meal. My
girlfriend, Carolyn Hodges of Brandon, says the only way to really enjoy
a BLT is on sliced Hawaiian bread, and my daughter loves hers with
homemade pimiento cheese in place of mayonnaise. Some people love a
combination of heirloom tomatoes and spring mix greens.
 
One of my favorites is the Spicy Southern Fried Green Tomato BLT, created
by Nicole Luciana of Sarasota, Florida, that won the 2011 Mississippi Magazine Recipe Contest. It is the perfect blend of ingredients. 
No matter how you slice it, a BLT with vine-ripe, homegrown tomatoes is a
taste of Mississippi! So grab a few, and savor the season.

    This looks really interesting! My only experience of fried green tomatoes is the movie, now that I live where it's warm enough to actually grow tomatoes I'll give this a try!
