Let's Eat!

So I was browsing recipes... mostly because I am hungry... and I came across this awesome site called The Veggie Table. I am always looking for great vegetarian recipes, and this site is a gold mine!

They even have a section on French Vegetarian Recipes! Here is one I look forward to making as soon as our tomatoes are ready!

These stuffed tomatoes from southern France are delicious served with soup, pasta, or rice dishes.
