My best friend made Fried Green Tomatoes for my family when she was visiting from Missouri. They were wonderful, but I almost choked watching her put the oil in the pan, over half a bottle! There had to be a way to get that flavor without all that added calories and cholesterol!

Here is my healthier version of an old favorite! (Now I can have them more often!)


Baked Green Tomatoes

2 medium to large green tomatoes, sliced
1 egg
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
OR
1 cup cornmeal
cooking spray

Heat oven or toaster oven to 450º F

Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.

Dip tomato slices, one at a time, in egg and coat with bread crumbs or corn meal. Place on cookie sheet and put in oven.

Bake for abut 30 minutes or until the tomatoes are a light golden color.

Salt to taste. Serve with ranch dressing or sour cream.

Ham Rolls

A great appetizer or party muchies, these tiny and tasty bites are easy to make and even easier to take!


Ham Rolls

1 lb sliced boiled ham, prepackaged or sliced medium
1-8 oz package of cream cheese (DO NOT use low fat or fat free)
1 (or 2) bunch of green onions

Soften cream cheese to room temperature.

Lay each slice of ham out flat on a clean work surface. Blot the ham dry using a paper towel. Divide the cream cheese evenly among the slices of ham. Spread the cream cheese over the ham as if you were buttering toast. Be careful not to tear the ham and be sure to hit the edges!

when the ham slices are evenly coated with cream cheese, lay 2 or three tops or the bottom fatter part of the onion on one end across the short length. Carefully roll the onions into the ham, until the ham is completely rolled around the onion. Repeat this for each pierce of ham.

Refrigerate the rolls to firm them up. (About a half hour)

Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and return them to the work surface. Cut across the rolls, cutting then into 1/2" slices. Arrange the slices on a plate and enjoy! (Be sure to make plenty - they go fast!)
