Fried Green Tomatoes...

Tomatoes from my dad's garden.

I am not a big fan of cornmeal so I don't use it
on my fried green tomatoes.


Veronica's Fried Green Tomatoes

2 large green tomatoes, sliced
1 egg
1/4 cup buttermilk
(whisk the egg and buttermilk together in a separate bowl)
1 cup flour
1/2 cup parmesan
1/4 tsp season salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 to1 tsp dill weed

Combine the flour, parmesan cheese,
season salt, pepper and dill weed.
Coat each tomato slice in flour.
Dip in the egg mixture.
Coat again in flour.
Fry in hot oil until browned on both sides.

Easy Parmesan Garlic Chicken

Turkey Tea Sandwiches

Chicken with Tomato/Cucumber Salsa

Chicken with Tomato/Cucumber Salsa
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and diced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
In a small bowl, combine the oregano, cumin and coriander and 1/4 tsp of the salt. Rub the chicken with the spice mixture, drizzle with oil and cook in a non-stick skillet on medium heat.
While the chicken is cooking, make the salsa : combine the tomato, cucumber, parsley, vinegar, pepper and remaining salt. Refrigerate salsa till chicken is done. After chicken is cooked, spoon salsa over chicken and serve.
I actually made 10 times the amount of the spice mixture and put it in an extra salt shaker so when I make this chicken, I just shake a little of the spices on while it is cooking.
