To all who know me very well know how much I love Tomatoes and along with that, Fried GREEN tomatoes!! So this week I thought to myself and told Bryan, "I can make those, and I will!!" I got everything ready...my tomatoes cut, marinated, the cornmeal mixed, and the skillet ready for frying!!
When I was frying them I noticed something really different about my tomatoes .....they were Not GREEN they were RED!! OMG.. Yes, Blonde moment please....I bought RED tomatoes to make Fried Green Tomatoes!! hahaha And yes, I did laugh at myself! I guess I was just so excited about making them I forgot I had to buy Green ones!! They still turned out Wonderful!! (but what isn't good thats fried right?) We added some Jalapeno Ranch one the top of each one though for a lil added taste! YUM YUM.. You gotta try this one!
