Fried Green Tomatoes!!! The quintessential southern staple. Well…this Southern food blogger never made them until last week. In fact, I’ve never even seen the movie. Wonk wonk wonk. Did I just lose my “Southern Cook” card?!?!?!?

My girlfriend Lisa has been making these fried green tomatoes for her husband, Rico for over 15 years so I thought she’d be the perfect person to show this blogger how to make them. 🙂 In fact, she’ll be doing a live demonstration on facebook and Instagram this coming weekend. Hope you can join us!

Her Momma has a huge garden that yields bountiful amounts of zucchini, Acorn & summer squash, green beans, corn, cabbage, green peppers, beets, white & sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes!!! She’s got quite the Farmer’s market to sustain a small village. #Dreamy #GardenGoals

HOW TO MAKE FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

She came over last week and showed me how to make them and I am in love! I love the contrasting textures in these fried green tomatoes…the crispy breading combined with the soft and tangy middle makes them so delicious. She also takes it up a notch with a delicious homemade tomato relish. They are definitely a must try!!!

I’ve been blessed to know Lisa for over 10 years now. She’s truly one of the most supportive sisters in Christ that I know that truly honors the Lord and points others to Jesus and His principles.

God’s Word says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17. I encourage you today to choose great friends that can truly help you sharpen your ability to hear from God and obey His voice. Say Grace and enjoy!
