Tip

Seeding Tomatoes

Summer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

These are so delicious and filling! I don't normally care for raw red peppers, but everything tastes great and the peppers add nice crunch. I use a whole wheat low carb/high fiber tortilla and turkey bacon to lower the calories, fat, carbs and up the fiber.

I liked these. They make a quick and tasty lunch and a great way to use some fresh garden produce.

I wasn't sure if I'd like these, since I don't typically prefer raw veggies, but these were sooooo so good! The flavors worked together great and the filling was juicy and creamy. Even my picky bf loved them, and he hates veggies! I will definitely be making these again.

My boyfriend and I are vegetarian, so we replaced the bacon with vegan "chicken-less chicken" strips and it was really tasty and easy to make. When I make them for my family, they add their own bacon and they love to have these on summer days and winter gym-nights.

The first time I made these I did not think they would be that filling or carry much taste, but they were delicious and 1 wrap was plenty. My husband is not much on sandwiches with vegetables but he loved this. It's a keeper.
