My note on the recipe card states simply “I love this”. But then, I’m a tomato nut. Even as a kid I would eat a tomato like an apple after school. One of my fondest memories as a child was picking a warm beefsteak tomato off the vine in Indiana in my Grandma Sleeth’s garden. It was so large I had to use two hands. This recipe seems like it has a lot of dried herbs, but the quantities are correct. Low in calories too.
