Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried Green Tomatoes
Not only is it a good movie, but Fried Green Tomatoes are one of those summertime delicacies that is worth wating for. This is actually my Grandma Nene’s recipe for Fried Squash Blossoms but it also works for Fried Green Tomatoes and great Fried Dill Pickles.

These look amazing! I’ve never had fried green tomatoes, but I’ve been wanting to try them for a long time now… I’m gonna have to try your recipe!
They are so good and definately try the recipe with pickles instead of tomatoes some time, it’s really good! Thanks for visiting the site!
