There are few things that save the day and are as delicious as ratatouille. Anna shows us how to pile it in a tart and call it a day.

Tomatoes of all varieties are literally falling off the vines during what was supposed to be the “dog days” of summer. Anna has a killer idea for what to do with the little guys: cherry tomatoes = Bloody Mary’s on a stick.
