Questions & Reviews
Cherry tomato is so cute when it comes to the look and even taste better than the big size tomato i have gone through your article and bookmarked it – tried the pasta salad and cucumber avocado salad both taste so yummy thanks for the share truly a gem.
Thanks! Pinned!
Thank you Janice!
Just as our cherry tomatoes are starting to come full force, your great post showed up! One question: why can’t I find the PIN button on the individual recipes? (I use Google Chrome.)
Yay! Thanks Janice! There should be a pin button on the top left corner when you hover over the image — I had to deactivate my sharing buttons that float on the blog post because it stopped working and was glitching like crazy. Researching a replacement as we speak! LMK if the hover works – I have chrome open and it seems to be working for me. It’s a pink “P” logo for Pinterest on hover. xo
