Well, I finally did it… I made my first Julia Child recipe and I was not disappointed. I checked out “Mastering The Art of French Cooking” by Julia Child from our library. What an incredible cook book, it is actually fun to read! I thought her recipes would be overwhelming and difficult, but there are so many simple recipes with easy instructions to choose from. I must have spent more time flipping through it trying to decide what to make than the actual making.

So… the sweet or the savory? I figured we had enough sweet stuff around here and I should take advantage of the beautiful summer tomatoes showing up at the local produce stand. It was quick and easy to make. The stuffing was kind of crispy but still moist. To complete the meal, I made a simple green salad and picked up a rotisserie chicken from the store. The tomatoes looked so awesome hugging the chicken roast on a platter.

So colorful, quick to make, and delicious… this is a recipe to remember for your next formal dinner!

Note – Depending on the size of your tomatoes, I might recommend doubling the filling mixture.
