Thanks for all the tomato ideas, everyone!

And I have to admit, that I love Indira’s tomato pilaf recipe and want to try it soon!

I may adapt it to cook it in my rice cooker–we’ll see what happens!

Great post with lots of good ideas. I have so many tomatoes right now, it’s driving me crazy almost! Today, I made homemade tomato juice that I love drinking right out of the bottle with the refridgerator door open of course!

I’m about to go into my 2nd trimester and I can’t stand meat at all! I spit out some veal at grandma’s house, bleck!

PS: I love using the word “goodness” for food stuff, I did it the other day in my curry potato stuffed peppers!

All the best,
Riana

Oh- and for the folks who like their carbs to have a little more nutritional punch, we’ve been using the Barilla Plus pastas recently- they are much closer in texture and taste to a regular pasta than the first incarnation of whole wheat pastas, and have quite a bit of protein as well. They are more expensive as pastas go, but still pretty cheap as far as food in general.

This looks fantastic! I just got some of our local cheese at the market this morning, and some striped heirloom tomatoes. mmm mmm goodness.

I also got something I’ve never cooked with before- I don’t know if it’s a southern thing (I’m in NC) but google was not that helpful: purple-hulled peas. Any suggestions?
