Over the weekend, I was in the mood for something savory. I looked around and found some tomatoes. I love tomatoes, and not only do they make a delicious, quick snack- they actually are one of the “Superfoods”. In other words, they are very good for you! I began to think about all of the super-simple ways you can enjoy a tomato, and came up with 10:

1. Slice it and sprinkle it with salt & pepper

2. Diced with cilantro and onion

3. Cut in half and stuffed with fresh-made chicken salad

4. Tossed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil

5. Grilled with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, & pepper

6. Pureed and made into tomato soup

7. Pan-seared on stovetop

8. Rolled in a little egg and covered in bread crumbs, then baked in the oven

9. On a crispy cracker with fresh mozzarella and basil

10. Broiled and browned then stuck between slices of grilled provolone

Since I wanted something really quick, I decided to go for the pan-seared tomato, and sinceit was so tasty, I made a 2nd pan full. LuLu and the Little Man watched for a few minutes, and then the Man said, “Mama, I want TOE-MAY-TOE”. Priceless.
