I spent all summer moping because I couldn’t find any Fried Green Tomatoes.
But TAH-DAY… while hanging out in my new favorite spot (The Produce section at the grocery store), I found them!
People around me were staring at me because I was jumping up and down. 🤷🏽♀️ … but I finally got my Green Tomatoes.
So you know what I had to do. 😉 They were so good my Aunt Betty (95yo) ate 3. I ate 4, but who’s counting? 🤦🏾♀️😋
Here’s how I made them.
