I have lots of tomatoes, but I don't care for them raw. I do like them cooked however.
Does anyone know some healthy recipes that would help me out?

    Hokay, so I heard your typing that you said you do not care for raw tomatoes. However... Have you tried Gazpacho ever? Tomato lovers can be brought to the other side with this nummy summer raw soup! DELISH! And it such a healthy filler. It would be lovely served in a margarita glass with olives on a toothpick or drink knife. YUM!

    Gazpacho soup was invented for the summer. Refreshingly cold on hot summer days, this adaptation of the classic Spanish cold tomato soup deliciously combines the best of summer vegetables. Make sure you only use the freshest, highest quality ingredients for this soup.

    During our cook-out over the past weekend, we had some left over tomato slices.....I threw them on the grill and found my new obsession! My hubby didn't care for them but he's not a diehard tomato freak like me! I guess it's my healthy version of Fried Green Tomatoes! Teeheeee. Next time, I'm going to cover them in Cajun seasoning..mmmm mmmmm good!:bigsmile:
