Losing About A Pound A Week | Fried Green Tomato Recipe

Well, it appears that I am losing about a pound a week.  Which shocks me because I am not going to lie, this week I have slacked off.  Fried Green Tomatoes are in season and I can eat about a 2 lbs of those they are so addicting!!!  But, still no gluten.  

So, I am 7 lbs till my "1st" goal and when I make that goal I am buying myself a pair of awesome looking Brazillian Pants that are around. 


These pants are featured on Kelle Rae Oien facebook site.  I dig the the blue pair, so cool!

Yeah, sexy wild cool - that is how I roll!!!  LOL.  Anyways, onto the recipe!!!  


Gluten Free - Fried green tomatos!!! Oh baby. 

medium to large tomatoes.

- 1/2 cup cornmeal  - (I get my Carriage House which I know is gmo free.)  -- 1/2 teaspoon seasalt 1/2 teaspoon of paprika  - 1 large egg - 2 tablespoons butter - 2 tablespoons canola or other mild-flavored oil - tablespoon chopped basil and/or parsley (optional) salt and pepper

1. Slice, but don't peel (the skin holds them together) the tomatoes about 1/2 -3/4 inch thick. Take very thin slices from the top and bottom and discard or reserve for another use.
2. Mix the cornmeal and salt together on a plate. In a small bowl, thoroughly beat the egg.
3. Melt butter and oil together over medium-high heat. Dip a slice of tomato into the egg, let excess egg drip back into the bowl, and dip quickly into the cornmeal on each side and put immediately into the hot pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, but not crowded. Fry until lightly browned, turn, and fry the other side. Remove to a warmed plate and fry remaining batches.
4. Serve warm, adding salt and papper to taste. Sprinkle with the chopped herbs, if using (if you wish, the herbs can be added to the beaten egg.).
