I will admit that I've never really thought that stuffed tomatoes looked very appetizing. But lately, I've been trying to eat better and that mostly means eating more veggies and fewer carbs (I LOVE carbs!).
My friend Mike at work brought me in several tomatoes and a fresh peach from his garden. I ate the peach at lunch - it was perfect. I brought the 3 tomatoes home, not knowing what I'd do with them. I've never been a huge tomato fan, but I've been enjoying them more as I've gotten older.
With my limited supplies (grocery shopping tomorrow is a must), I decided to make baked, stuffed tomatoes. From what I could tell by looking at other recipes online, stuffed tomatoes can contain anything you want. I saw some with ground beef, but I was looking for something simpler.
I used a 7 grain rice blend, crushed red pepper, basil, fresh garlic and cheese.
They were juicy, flavorful and filling. A vegetarian dinner that was delicious and satisfying.

Yum! Those look great! I've had and made my own stuffed peppers but never stuffed tomatoes! Tomatoes are one of my favorite foods (along with a Palisade peach - have you had one of those yet?).
A Palisade peach...no, I haven't had one of those. How are they different from a regular peach?
