I love tomatoes, and I had a whole bunch left over for this week, so I made Baked Tomatoes. These are so easy to make! All you need is a few tomatoes, salt, cheese, and oregano. I also bought a Stuffed Mushroom at the grocery store. This is also easy to make at home. All you need is a large mushroom, feta, spinach, onion and tomatoes. Cook at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. This is a fast and tasty meal! Also, since these are vegetables, this meal is pretty healthy. This serves about 2 people as a light meal or appetizer. Ingredients: Baked Tomatoes - 4-6 tomatoes - cheese (Parmesan is probably the best cheese to use) - a few dashes of seasoning salt - dashes of oregano Stuffed Mushrooms - 1 large mushroom - 3 Tbs. feta cheese - 1/2 cup spinach to fill it - a few handfuls of chopped onions and tomatoes to put on top Enjoy! These will make great appetizers.
