Do you have an abundance of tomatoes right now? I know we do but even if you don’t have a garden every road side stand and every grocery store has tomatoes on sale. I have the perfect, most delicious recipe for you that is so fast & easy! And after all… when you buy produce in season you’ll save more! Its all part of your frugal living plan!
For dinner this evening I made broiled tomatoes, lightly fried flounder, fresh cut watermelon, and Kraft Mac N Cheese (for my picky eater 9 year old).
This entire meal for my family (we had 5 of us home for dinner tonight) cost only around $4.00 or maybe $4.50. It was easy to make and didn’t take a long time. I like to keep dinner from start to finish on the table about 30 minutes or under. Sure I’ve spend an hour making dinner before and I’ve also had nights where hot dogs, chips and fruit was on the table in about 8-12 minutes! We’ve all been there, right? Well I’m ok with about 30 minutes for dinner on most nights (not all) and I want to give you some idea in case you’re finding yourself in a dinner rut… What’s a dinner rut you say? You get stuck eating the same things week after week. Time to try something different!
Ok recipe for the quick broiled tomatoes:
Thick sliced tomatoes
cheese (like Parmesan or a shredded Italian blend)
black pepper
Slice tomatoes and place thick slices on a greased pan (olive oil is best for this recipe for health and flavor). Lightly brush with olive oil. Add pepper
Add cheese, broil a few minutes on high. Be sure to watch carefully because the cheese can burn very quickly. Enjoy!
**************************************
Now for my main meal I made Up & Up brand wild caught flounder. I purchased it frozen with a coupon for Up and Up seafood item. I thawed the fish, then dipped in egg then a light Panko plan bread coating to get a crispy batter. I fried light in coconut oil turned the fish once in the pan. Delicious!
Have you seen my Summer Squash pie recipe? Its delicious! Pin it for inspiration!
