I have green tomatoes! Yaaaaaayyyyy!!!

How do you guys cook them for SB? I was thinking I'd roll them in an egg wash and coat them with parmesan cheese and fry 'em up. Anyone ever tried that?

How have you cooked them?

That's exactly how I do them, Amy. They are really yummy! I've got a few myself that I need to get cooked up before they turn on me. The way things usually work though, I will have fresh red tomatoes for dinner one night this week lol

Speaking of cooking, I have my dinner all ready to go for tomorrow. I'm trying to make use of that crock pot I bought last week. I cut up peppers (red and green) and an onion and put in the crock along with about 12 garlic cloves and a layer of fresh mushrooms. Then I browned a sirloin roast and laid it on top. Tomorrow morning before heading off to work I will pour in a cup of reduced sodium beef broth and turn it on (I set the crock in the fridge for the night). The house will be smelling really good by the time I get home. Whip up a side for J and the kids and a salad and dinner is served!

Like that pic, Judy. Reminds me of the spot J and I used to go to and have a glass of wine while we watched the sun set in Tampa. I can almost taste the salt air.

I have no idea how to fry green tomatoes but I sure did like the movie!!
What you are writing about sound good to me!!

Here is today's Daily Dish:

This is such good idea for a party becuase you can still feel like you are having a cocktail but with no alcohol!!

Hi all! I really need some support this week!

Am doing a recommit to Phase I because the past few months have been iffy (I had two surgeries in four months and had a very hard time sticking exactly to plan). From January to March, on the beach, I lost 20 pounds and was feeling really good about it. Have gained 10 of it back since March and GOTTA get going in the downward direction again!!! Was sort of thinking of trying another plan, but I don't know WHY I would do that bc South Beach was really working for me. I guess it just seems daunting to start over again, you know? Am feeling nervous...but I desperately want to get back in gear...so any thoughts would be welcomed.

Hope you all have a great week!!!!!

Okey Dokey, Tomorrow I'll be having me some fried green parmesan tomatoes!! Along with Tequila Pork loin chops for supper!!! yummy yummy

I made a big batch of chicken salad today using a large roaster, onion, celery, dill pickle relish, and Smart Balance mayo. Chicken salad is always good in the dog days of summer. I had some tonight for dinner in a Joseph's Oat Bran and Flax Pita with radish sprouts. I made a big batch of stir fried mixed veggies with broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers, mushrooms, onions and snow peas. I had that with the chicken salad along with mashed sweet potato with a little half and half. I am STUFFED.

I have enough food to last 3 or 4 days.

Something like 2 surgeries would totally disrupt my life. I can understand how easy it would be not to pay attention to your food plan.

This WOE does makes you feel good! There is such a big selection of food to eat. I can't tell you how sick I was of protein when I was eating VLC. It got to the point where I couldn't eat chicken any longer and none of the cream cheese goodies made me feel any better.

You have to do what is right for you and your body. But if you liked it before, I don't see why you wouldn't have the same success again!

Marking my space. LOL.

I haven't tried the Smart Balance mayo yet but I LOVE the Smart Balance margarine. This time I tried it with the Omega stuff and Olive Oil. It was great. I did try the Kraft (I think) reduced fat mayo with the olive oil and it is great.

Thank you, Susan!!! Really appreciate your kind words.

And your meal sounds AMAZINGLY good.

Wow...a few of us are actually home on a Saturday night!! Cool!!

This was my shrimp fajita dinner...and it was soooo good!!



I had a very good food day today and this makes me happy!
My brunch was a lox/eggs and onion scramble....with avocado and tomato on the side. Kept me full until 9pm and I ate it at 2:30pm.

I got my bike out and filled the tires with air and went for a ride....for over 1 hour!! That felt fabulous!!

The shrimp fajita was excellent and now I need to keep away from the leftovers!!

Welcome back Sass...I knew that you'd return!

Wow Judy....I'm coming to your house for supper!!! That shrimp fajita looks FABULOUS!!

It's so funny that you mentioned that we were home on Saturday night. I told my hubby earlier this evening (before reading your post) I said," You know we are really old?!" He said, "Why?" I said, "Because if anyone asks me what I did last Saturday night I'll have to say, 'I vacuumed my floors!' "

I've also done laundry, tanned, cooked supper, and went and got the mail, but they aren't anymore fun than vacuuming...LOL!!

Judy, thank you. Your bike ride sounds MARVELOUS! Way to go (and on the fajita and lox and other yums of the day).
