For the ultimate gazpacho, you must peel, seed, dice, salt, and drain really good, vine-ripened tomatoes. But if you don't have time to fuss with fresh tomatoes, try this gazpacho with canned tomatoes. I've found the canned variety makes a fine substitute. Another advantage? Fresh tomatoes start to deteriorate as soon as the soup is refrigerated, but canned tomatoes are unaffected by the chill.

Special Italian Easter Pizza
This Easter pizza recipe is based on a pizza rustica my Italian college roommate's family would send us for Easter dinner every year. I loved it and asked for the recipe, but I was told I could not have it! So I tweaked a few recipes I found myself, and my final result is better than the original.
My Big Fat Greek Omelet
If you're low-carbing it, try my spinach omelet with tomato and feta filling. If you thaw the spinach and squeeze it dry the night before, this omelet is very doable even for speedy weekday breakfasts.
