Sliced Tomatoes with Olive Oil & Thyme

Inspired by this recipe from Martha Stewart, I decided to make myself a very light lunch yesterday.  We had our 16 week prenatal appointment {all is well!}, so I ended up eating a little later than usual.

I’ve been working from home full-time now for almost a month and a half, and it is growing on me.  The biggest benefit being that I can make my lunch and work at the same time.  My lunches have gotten exponentionally healthier, and I enjoy the break that cooking gives me in the middle of the day.

Anyway, I digress.

Sliced Tomatoes with Olive Oil & Thyme

Ingredients:

• 5 grape tomatoes {there are more in the picture below, but I ended up not using them all}
• 2 large red tomatoes
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1/8 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. Slice tomatoes into thin slices.
2. Spread on the plate and drizzle with the olive oil.  Top with thyme, mozzarella cheese, and pepper.  Let sit 10 minutes before eating.

Grade: C+

Comments: It was okay.  I even added to the original recipe, because I thought it would be bland.  I probably should have eaten it with something else like a tuna sandwich or something similar.  By itself it wasn’t enough food, and it definitely needed something else.  If I make it again maybe I’ll add some other vegetables and lettuce to make it more like a lunch salad.
