Anastasia, this recipe is AWESOME!!! I used Italian seasoned bread crumbs, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I wasn't very sure of this recipe at first, as I have never really cared for green tomatoes, but I was delightfully surprised by this dish. Crusty garlic bread, and a green salad....this was a meal made in Heaven!! I like the fact that it does not contain meat, but yet it is so satisfying. Please do share some more of your recipes with us:) ~Manda

I'm 23 yrs old and have been cooking since I was about 12 or 13. I love to cook, I find it a relaxing passtime. Although I am not a professional chef, I do aspire to be. I love corrective criticsm so dont be shy if my recipes i post arent quite cutting it. Aside from cooking I love to write, poetry mostly, read, dance, spend time with my niece and nephew, and work. Although the latter is more out of neccessity.
