Okay this week I'm going to share with you the most amazing tip I've come across in recent times.
Brace yourself because it's truely life changing!
Here's a video that shows you how to dice a tomato!!
I know... you're thinking "What is she talking about, you just dice it." But really it gets squishy, and messy and I need it to be neat and pretty. This has revolutionized my use of tomatoes!
Simply UH-mazing right?? Told you so.

Hm. Do you really throw away half the tomato? I can't see that working for me, but I'm glad it works for you :)
Thanks for stopping by and making me feel more normal. I just hate to leave Lily with a babysitter. I feel like I am away from her way too long just because I work full time and I can't imagine just ditching her to go out. Not that I wouldn't like to go out but...she won't be this little forever, right?
OK enough about me...I can't help and comment...I cannot throw out half a tomato! We love the seeds and inside! My daughter digs out seeds with her fingers! :) Although some recipes (like my couscous and cucumber tomato salad) do call for less "juices" so I try to drain the tomato first.
My husband doesn't like that I throw out the center either... I don't particularly care for the middles anyway but did see Rachel Ray cut one the same way the other day! She suggested to save the middle to make a tomato dressing out of so that might be a no waste solution.
