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.

We had never grilled turkey before and it was amazing! The slaw itself needs a little "something" - maybe some chopped onion??

I made this with pork tenderloin that I cooked on the stovetop and cut into thin slices, and it was amazing! The broccoli slaw gives a great crunch!

To: talbotsgirl... Yes, you could bake these. But you can also use a skillet like you would for eggs! If you have a good non stick one it will be even better... I use my scanpans... love them!

anyone know where I can find Caribbean Jerk seasoning? I have looked at all my grocery stores in my area and no one carries it.
