It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with tomatoes.
I really can’t get enough of them this summer. This week, as I recover from the stupid cold that’s had me sick for ELEVEN days so far… I want tomatoes and lots of them.
I want to taste their juicy, tangy, sweet flavor in as many ways as possible. And, in my heart of hearts, I believe that vitamin A & C packed veggie is going to heal me!
So, the tomato flavor for the week is this stuffed roasted tomato. I’ve never done this before, but it is so so delicious. I lightened up the dish a little more by adding Laughing Cow cheese instead of the goat cheese the original recipe called for. Summery, amazing, and the perfect side for a nice steak. Speaking of steak, stop by next week for a tasty steak recipe I enjoyed last week…
