This is my first stuffed tomato. I really enjoyed it. I loved how the fresh spinach wilts and creates a juicy uniform filling once cookied. I would suggest piling on the filling because it does shrink. I liked the oregano flavor as well. I did however think they needed "something". I think a finishing sprinkle of feta or mozza cheese on top of the stuffed tomato would have finished it off nicely. Thanks for the recipe dicooks! I did enjoy these!

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
