I placed my Apple Braised Beef Short Ribs on my meal plan for this week, which is a part of my weekly publication  Whats For Dinner Next Week, 776 .  We love this recipe and always serve it on top of my Old Fashioned Polenta. I just realized that I never did share the recipe for the polenta until I got a sweet note from a young homemaker asking for the recipe. Mary thank you so much for asking for the recipe so that I could share with all of you!

We grow our own heirloom tomatoes in the summer garden, and fortunately our local market carries them the year round. This is a salad mix that works so well with fish and chicken dishes. It is a very versatile recipe that I sometimes use the base of the tomato mix as a Bruschetta topper. This mix has the best flavor and can even be served as a stand alone tomato salad. I love this recipe and hope you enjoy it!
