I had planned to take today off from the iron chef dinner because Dan is working super late, however Allison wanted to hang out and was happy to supply me with an ingredient!
Since I was at Valli Produce yesterday and bought a bajillion tomatoes from their clearance section (yes! Clearance fruits and veggies people! its amazing@! ) I was thrilled that Tomato was Allison's chosen ingredient.
Tonights dinner was a stuffed tomato, with a soufflé like filling. The filling had bacon and onions and peppers that I sautéd and then mixed in with goat cheese and queso fresco and some egg yolks. Then I whipped up some egg whites and folded them in, Stuffed the whole thing in the tomatoes and baked for 20 minutes or so.
While the tomatoes were baking I made a tomato cucumber salad with the left over poppy seed dressing from a few days ago, and the best bruschetta ever. It was so worth it to splurge on those heirloom tomatoes at Dominics this afternoon.
It is actually sad that the basil is on top of this tomato, because this was the prettiest tomato that I have ever sliced. It was also very very sweet.

Looks yummy! BTW, if you decide to have more company, I'll be more than happy to be a guinea pig one evening for some Sarah-friendly cuisine.
i believe that most of my cuisine has been sarah friendly. There was a bit of sour cream the day we had tacos, but otherwise it was all good! I will have to cook for you next time you are in town.
