Tomatoes are the talk of the town, one of the most versatile ingredients is being featured in lots of saucy recipes. We adore food blog House of Earnest‘s rendition, Heirloom Tomato Handpies. Food just always seems better when you can eat with your hands, and these pockets of goodness are the ideal to-go recipe. It is basically impossible not to fall in love at first bite. Once the flaky crust cracks and spiced tomato with cheese filling pours out in a vibrant red, it’s going to be pretty hard to enjoy a Hot Pocket ever again. Tomato, tomahto, doesn’t matter how ya say it, this is a unanimously additive recipe!
