Stuffed Tomatoes

My little cherub was watching the Food Network, when the show chef made stuffed tomatoes.

Ever since then, that's been my cherub's request.

Doesn't that seem strange?

While at the store I grabbed some large tomatoes and it thrilled her soul!

Today, after swimming, she decided that a stuffed tomato would be a great lunch.

Together, we made her first-ever stuffed tomato.

It was simple; but that's what she wanted.

"Momma, I wish we would have done this sooner this Summer. This is delicious!"

When it's their idea -- it's so much tastier!

Stuffed Tomatoes

2 large, ripe tomatoes
Salt
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Slice the top off of the tomato and scoop out pulp and seeds. Salt insides and rest upside down on a paper towel for about 15 minutes to drain.

In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs, pepper, grated Parmesan and oil. Stuff tomatoes with the filling, sprinkle with some extra Parmesan, and bake until tomatoes are cooked through and tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man! That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . . .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
