Title: light suppers
Post by: Homegrown Tomatoes on May 16, 2008, 05:23:47 PM
Any suggestions for things that are light to eat and don't require tons of preparation?  It is getting hot and being around ten months pregnant I am just not into cooking.  Also, it can't be high in sugars or carbs.

Sounds like a good time for soups to me. Personally I have been craving chilli but I would advise against it for you HT

Tomato sandwich with lots of mayonnaise, salt, pepper and on toast. If your a little hungrier, add bacon and lettuce. ;D

That sounds good, but I couldn't eat the bread, so maybe I could just wrap it in lettuce.  :)

Peter sounds good. Only problem is trying to find a good tomato this time of year. Way too early for homegrown and the ones they sell closely resemble tomatos but lack the taste.

It won't be long for me. I planted some surrounded by old Coke Jugs full of water in early March. They have blooms now. The others will be a little later.

My mom's been picking ripe tomatoes off her plants for a few weeks now.

By the way, supper tonight ended up being a cucumber, a handful of dry roasted peanuts, and a square of extra dark chocolate.  Not really all that well rounded, but it is what tasted decent.
