Tomato Flight
My daughter saw something called a Tomato Flight and wanted to try it for me and her.
What is a Tomato Flight? (I had no idea either)
A tomato flight is a colorful, customizable platter of tomato slices topped with a variety of cheeses, herbs, meats, and sauces, perfect for summer entertaining or a creative snack.
So she made 6 slices of a large tomato and topped them with different toppings including, pepperoni, avocado, bacon, cucumber, cream cheese and lox, black olives, green olives, lettuce, seafood salad, cottage cheese, queso fresco cheese, bell pepper, and mint.
The tin in the middle is smoked oysters.
We halved all the tomatoes and the tin of oysters. It was really good.
I didn't keep track of the calories for this but since we cut all the tomatoes with the toppings in half, I don't think it was much over what I usually have for dinner.
For desert later we had Banana Cream Pudding
Zero Sugar Banana Cream Pudding and a handful of Catalina Crunch Protein Cereal
I used the Jello brand zero sugar pudding and made it according to the directions. I added a handful of the Catalina Crunch protein cereal to it. I won't be using the Catalina Crunch protein cereal again, I don't like it. I reviewed it here. But the pudding was great. It's a nice, sweet treat.
A 1/2 cup serving of pudding is 50 calories.
Would you eat either of these?
I love the tomato flight idea! I would probably pass on the pudding…
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to try something new.
DeleteThat looks absolutely mouthwatering, a feast for the eyes as well as the body.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteHow good that looks Mary, I could eat those for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to try something new.
DeleteThe tomato flight looks like a creative way to mix up a snack. Interesting choice on the pudding toppings too...good to know about the texture of the cereal.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting.
DeleteOMG! I love this tomato flight idea. What a lovely presentation she did and fun way to entertain. Not only that -using tomatoes as the base, cuts down on the calories too!! Once tomato season comes around I'm trying this- or maybe even before!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have fun with it like we did.
DeleteIt all looks tasty and elegant!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteBanana pudding sounds nice, I love me anything banana.
ReplyDeleteThe Zero sugar banana pudding is surprisingly really good.
DeleteLooks good
ReplyDeleteThanks, it came out good.
DeleteI love flights and trying small bits of different things.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to try something new.
DeleteI never saw a tomato flight. That looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of this either.
DeleteWhat a creative idea! Since peak tomato season is over around here (and they now taste like cardboard again) I will try to remember it for next year.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to try it too.
DeleteThat's a new idea for me and yes, I like everything except the oysters. We eat Catalina Crunch here, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the Catalina Crunch.
DeleteI hadn't heard of a tomato flight either. It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was new to me but I liked it.
DeleteWell, sign me up.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I can have a Diet Coke.
Absolutely.
DeleteThanks. Looks fantastic. My wife would likely choose this to be her "last meal."
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting last meal to have for sure.
DeleteThat is such a fun idea and it looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun.
DeleteDear Mary, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good.
DeleteLooks like a nice buffet.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was fun.
DeleteI'd not come across "Tomato Flight" before.
ReplyDeleteI like the look and sound of the ones you've shown here.
All the best Jan
It was a first for me as well.
DeleteHow am I late to the tomato flight party? Our tomatoes are long gone for this year but I will be making a pinterest board for next summer. We are huge tomato fans!
ReplyDeleteOh, then I hope you do this when tomatoes are back in season.
DeleteThat looks good Mary. Hope all is well with you and your daughter :-D
ReplyDeleteWell, hello you. I hope as is well with you too. We are doing alright.
DeleteLooks delicious! I tried some Catalina Crunch stuff and didn't like it either. Tasted like cardboard.
ReplyDeleteI used to carry smoked oysters backpacking---the mid-trip evening, we'd share a tin of oysters, crackers, and an extra ounce of scotch.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a tomato flight either.... until now.
ReplyDeleteThis would be my friends worst nightmare since I always eat the tomatoes from her salad. 😂
That sound so good to me. I may have to try this one night.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great!
