A few weeks back C told me he was going to go vegetarian during the week for the month of October and asked if I wanted to do it with him. Sure, why not says I, thinking it’ll be pretty simple as back in the day I was once a veggie (just for a year in college). But then he changed the rules. Vegetarian for the WHOLE month. I still agree to participate, but I admit, giving up seafood for 31 days might not be pretty. Thank god Old Bay can be used on anything.
I thought it might be fun to document some of my cooking dishes for the next month here. I can’t guarantee to blog nightly, but I will try to keep it up as much as my work schedule allows.
Since today is a lazy Sunday I’ll probably do two posts. For lunch I’m cooking up something VERY yummy – Italian Baked Tomatoes.
Recipe:
- One large tomato, cut into wedges about 1/4 inch thick
- Mozzarella cheese
- Italian style bread crumbs
- One clove of garlic, chopped
- Dried oregano
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley
- Olive oil (I used garlic olive oil to add a bit more kick)
Simply place the cut tomatoes on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cover with the mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, chopped garlic and sprinkle on some oregano, a touch or salt and pepper, parsley and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes and you’re good to go! Great quick lunch or snack.
