Proudly announcing that I switched to Atkins last Monday. I have lost 11 pounds in this one week. I wish I had done this earlier. This absolutely rocks.

Congrads are in order, and a bit of the bubbles (IN YOUR CASE, DIET PEPSI), for a toast.. :)

One container LowCarb Lunches

Here is something that can be prepared the night before and assembled in the morning.. Pop it into a micro, with the Tomato Sauce, or eat just the tomatoes and green beans chilled, either way it is delicious!

Xbob's Really Fresh tomato sauce:

Same ingredients, except add onions.

Get a bushel of fresh tomatos from the farmer's market (super cheap - relatively - when in season).

Heat a giant pot of hot water, and blanch and skin the tomatoes.

Put all ingredients in a blender and chop/blend/etc to desired consistency.

Use some immediately - in coctail sauce on shrimp, salad dressing, spaghetti sauce. Freeze remainder in zip-lock bags, for future use in small quantities - and you can have excellent very fresh, very good tomato sauce - if you want to cook it up, do it. Works very well, is easy and cheap and long lasting.

Very different than the 'fresh cooked' tomato sauce, and very good.
