This is where you can post your challenge on tomatoes and how you added them more to your diet. It can be trying a new recipe or how you added them to your diet. The goal is three times this week.

Day 2 - homemade soup with tomatoes in it.0

Day 2 - Chopped up some grape tomatoes and added to some whole grain rice. It wasn't bad but didn't add too much. I might do it again if I am trying to use up some of these tomatoes but wouldn't go out of my way to add them. I also ate some of them by themselves and with cucumbers with no dressing of any kind and that wasn't too bad. I could see myself doing that again. Especially since the dressings I would normally put on them have a lot of sodium.0

Picked up a really nice container of cherry tomatoes today and had them with my salad at lunch. They will be there the rest of the week just because but I'm doing three different things with them to make this count!0

Yesterday was salad with tomatoes, I know, not too original.0 -
Added some Cherub tomatoes into the pan when when I was sauteing tilapia in Pam spray and lime juice. I roll the tilapia in flour, garlic powder, lemon pepper, Old bay seasoning, and orange peel. Added a little favor and lots of color. Next time I might saute spinach and the tomatoes together, then cook the fish.0

Had a lovely ripe cherry tomato. Sinus headache n hayfever kicked in 20 mins later. This human guinea pig is trying to find the cause of her hay fever like reaction to some foods. Doctor suspects is an intollerance to histammines. You guessed it, tomatoes have a lot, particularly ripe ones. Cooked should reduce the histammine levels so will try that later in week. Viva la Roma!0

I normally have back bacon for breakfast. Today I decided to save it for lunch and make it into a BLT. I have never done that before! Yesterday I made a chicken lasagne (has tomato sauce) using left over spinach from last week's Indian inspired lentil and rice dish with all the spices. Just one more tomato inspiration to go!0

I had cherry tomatoes on a salad for dinner on Wednesday and Thursday this week. These were dinners where I really wanted comfort food - especially in the form of ice cream, which is in abundance at the cafeteria at the college I work at. But, I made the conscious decision to have fresh fruit and veggies to help me feel better long-term (versus the temporary satisfaction of ice cream which would be followed by the sluggishness and guilt later). So, cherry tomatoes and other fresh foods for the win! I'm not sure I would have been so intentional in these choices if it hadn't been for this specific challenge.1

Day 1: Threw together some cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and some light Olive Garden dressing.
Day 2: Chopped up some grape tomatoes and added to some whole grain rice.
Day 3: Mixed whole grain rice, black beans, and cut up grape tomatoes. It was actually pretty darn good.
