Edwin, make sure your tomatoes are superb. If buying them just underripe, you MUST ripen them ont he kitchen counter, or OUTSIDE your refrigerator for the best texture and flavor.

Hi MM, just try to remember this mantra, Energy IN ,Energy out. Which means ,watch your calories and exercise 1 hr. most days of the week. You can also calculate your calories by multiplying your wt in lbs. X 15 = your total calories per day then subract 500 calories.You can spread your food intake by eating 6 meals a day.This allows your blood sugar at stable level.I have done this for 9 yrs. and it works.
* If you subract 500 calories per day you will loose 1 lb at week which is duable
Good Luck and Good Eats
Youyr salad looks great!

This looks yummy! I usually make a plain salad Caprese but will try adding artichokes next time… Good luck with your weight loss endeavor! As for your poll, I’d say luck favors the prepared :)

hi MM. i empathize with you during your diet. im on a diet myself, need to lose at least 10 lbs before the official start of the christmas season.

one way to reduce calorie intake—let someone else do the groceries with a prepared list. if i go to the grocery myself, i tend to pick up a lot of items (especially when i see yummy things like mushrooms, bottles of good quality mustard, spanish chorizos, slabs of salmon, beautiful racks of ribs, etc, etc, etc. i always get visions of wonderful hours cooking these items into various delicious dishes…

…i forget that i have to eat these same dishes too…shame on that expanding waistline!

I’d like to try this. I’m trying to lose weight. Heeheee. I got so hooked with seafood and avocado salad by Galler.

Very timely as I too am cutting back.
Very informative links Connie C. Bookmarked! I’m finding it very hard to stay away from rice, hope this helps. Thanks!

MM, what kind of mozzarella did you use? Is it from cow’s milk or carabao(buffala)?

When I was stationed in North Carolina, we rented a house in the outskirts of the Military town of Jacksonville. The whole neighborhood consisted of farm and ranches and everybody except us have more than 2 acres of land that is planted with various vegetables specifically tomatoes. And when the quarterly Community Meeting was held (wherein there is a potluck), I brought lumpia to mingle with the other dishes.. and lo and behold.. there were about 6 kinds of Tomato trays – Tomatoes with cucumber salad, tomatoes with green beans salad, tomatoes with fresh goat cheeze, grilled tomatoes, bruschetta, and just plain fresh grapes tomatoes with kosher salt sprinkled on top. Are these people on a diet or what! I felt like taking back my eggrolls.. but the town folks said tomatoes and eggrolls goes great together.
