Awesome. You got to remember that vegetable hunting is just as important as animal hunting when it comes to diet and health.

My dieting meal is usually a meat, salad and or veggies. Sliced tomatoe is a favorite. I don't totally eschew carbs, but I use them for treats spareingly (usually for a couple beers )
Breakfast this morning was a small rare steak, eggs fried hard and a couple raw carrots... This has had me losing a couple pounds a week for 30 pounds, now...

Pete how do you fix the stuffed tomatoes They really look good,

They were good - Here's my recipe:


STUFFING for two large/slicing tomatoes:

* Cook/nuke 1/3C Minute Rice + 1/3C H2O + 1 tsp EVOO + 1/2 small bay leaf + pinch salt, cook/boil 2mins (al dente is OK) - then let cool to room temperature.

* To cooled rice add/stir-in: 6 minced Basil leaves, then 1/3C shredded Mozzarella cheese, then 2 Tbsp grated cheese, then a healthy shake of Oregano.



TOMATO Prep:

* Slice tops off tomatoes, clean off stem/leaves & reserve.

* Core tomatoes with a paring knife & spoon - placing the removed seeds/meat/juice in a strainer over a bowl.

* Remove tomato meat from strainer, chop & add to stuffing mix (above), adding 1 Tbsp EVOO to stuffing (stir in).

* Press remainder of strainer contents to extract juice & reserve juice, discarding seeds/etc.

* In oven-proof dish, drizzle EVOO in the bottom, then roll the cored tomatoes in the EVOO until they are evenly coated.

* In oven-proof dish, set cut off tomato tops in the bottom (to act as a stabilizing pedestal for the tomatoes).

* Give each cored tomato a small drizzle of EVOO & a pinch of salt, then stuff loosely (do not pack tightly).

* Place stuffed tomato atop it's pedestal in the cooking dish & top each one with 1 Tsp grated cheese (for crust).

* Pour reserved tomato juice into bottom of cooking pan (it'll mix with the drizzled EVOO during cooking).



Per-heat oven (or toaster oven) to 400-degrees & bake 25-30 mins.

I cut a cooked stuffed tomato open on my plate & salt/pepper to taste when eating.


(Tomatoes can be kept warm, while finishing the rest of the meal, in via a toaster oven's "warm" control or on a very low stovetop flame/heat.)



Bon apetit', Jerry !

Pete now that is one meal we do fix and really enjoy with lots of horseradish.

Pico de Gallo with plenty of jalapeno on a breakfast soft taco will help open you up if you have a head cold. When it makes your nose run, it is just about right.
