    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!

    so my plans to have a nice Mediterranean dinner fell through but i managed to have sliced tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and a nice pasta dinner with diced roma tomatoes, onions, herbs (like a marinara sauce). It was very tasty! So tomato challenge now completed!

    I eat tomatoes every day. They are my favorite. I will be glad when I have fresh from my garden.

    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.

    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. :smiley:

    Nothing original but got my tomatoes in :) Day 1 was grilled tomatoes and bell peppers for fajitas. Day 2 was sliced tomato on my sandwich. Day 3 was cherry tomatoes on my salad. And I love salsa and have that a few times a week.

    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.

    tomatoes in salad 2 or 3 times. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes this morning. One of our favorite summer meals is BLTs and corn on the cob. Looking forward to our garden tomatoes, but it will be a while :/

    Tonight I had tomato sauce with broccoli slaw instead of pasta. Very filling.
    Yesterday was salad with tomatoes, I know, not too original.

    I've also had grilled tomatoes, pizza and stuffed cabbage with tomato sauce this week.

    For my last inspiration, I made a casserole using a can of diced tomatoes. The next day I ate lunch at a restaurant and had tomatoes on my wrap and in my salad.
