Baked Stuffed Tomatoes


I have to tell you a secret.  I gardened.  
The only time I've ever had a green thumb in my life is when I accidentally (or not) shoved all of my fingers into a tub of St. Patrick's Day frosting.  
But, we were gifted some beautiful tomato plants, and I knew they weren't going to make their way into the ground all by themselves (that doesn't happen, right?).
So I gardened.  Like this: very pregnant, in a skirt, squatting, using a child's toy shovel.  
I will keep you posted because, no, these tomatoes are not from my garden.  

But they were delicious nonetheless.  I took two and cored them with a knife and a spoon, scooping out most of the seeds....  


In a bowl, I mixed some panko, cilantro, Parmesan, freshly chopped garlic, Italian herbs and salt and pepper, and stuffed the tomatoes...


I sprinkled with some olive oil and baked them in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.  
Perfect summer side dish!
