I love fresh tomatoes.
No, that is not my vegetable garden but I wish it was, lol.
I use these fresh tomatoes with omelet, as a side dish, for pasta and as part of sandwich fillings.
Below is a photo I have already used in this post:
We had this again the other night but this time using vegeroni spirals.
No photo though, we just dug in as soon as the dish was ready.
Yeah, we were that hungry.
We were also in a bit of hurry because I needed to go online for a live chat.
Happy Sunday and yes, happy eating 🙂

Dona Elena Cuisinera Club is a virtual hub where mothers, health practitioners and foodies get together virtually to share recipes that will promote healthy eating.
Not only do these members meet in the virtual world, they get to meet each other too, through monthly cooking lessons.
Can healthy and nutritious food go hand in hand? Yes!
How can this be?
Through the use of olive oil in preparing healthy, nutritious and of course, yummy food.
What are the benefits of olive oil?
- It is rich in monounsaturated fat with anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive properties.
- It can lower cholesterol level and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease AS LONG AS healthy and active lifestyle is also being practiced.
- Olive oil is rich in polyphenols which is a potent antioxidant that scavenges harmful free radicals in the body.
Go ahead, throw away those fat-laden and/or salty junk food and start learning to cook healthy and nutritious food.
You won’t need to read a lot about chemical-based weight loss supplements, herbal whatnot, alli and why starving yourself is bad (LOL) to be able to live a healthy lifestyle 🙂
The choice is yours to make, here is to healthy living!
