Delicious, filling, good-for-you snack!


I just made this, and it was awesome!

  1. Grab some stuff you think would taste good on a tomato (here, I used extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, parmesan cheese, pepper, and thyme, and will explain the next steps using those ingredients)
  2. Slice tomato and arrange like a flower/robot—or as you wish :)
  3. Drizzle a tiny bit of oil and glaze onto slices
  4. Sprinkle cheese/herbs on top

I used too much pepper and thyme in this example—in fact, these ingredients can be omitted entirely, and it’s still lovely.  You want merely to accentuate the delicate flavors of the tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic glaze.  Fresh basil or cilantro works wonders, but I had none available today.

For those concerned about the oil, it’s only a tiny drizzle of olive oil, which is really good for you.  Importantly, it adds a subtle richness to the flavor which makes this more of a satisfying dish and less like “rabbit food”.

PS - I didn’t mean this to be an ad for TJ’s, honest!

Weight gain.

I am so mad. So I just stepped on the scales and it says 93.6 , I was at 88 a few weeks back ! I am so utterly disappointed in myself. Going raw this month to shed off this weight. Fuming right now !
