This blog will detail what I, Maria E. Gray, make for dinner everynight, I tend to mostly cook from scratch and I make videos of how I prepare most of my recipes. Some nights I get really basic for a fast, yet good meal - others I prepare more elaborate dishes. Either way, everyday I need to answer that omnipresent and universal question, "Whats for dinner?" - also check out my youtube channel

Crab Salad Stuffed Tomatoes
These fun and easy appetizers were inspired by my belief that if you present a
child with attractively plated food in a fun way you can get the child to eat just about anything -
I had no tuna, no eggs and wanted to make a quick lunch for my daughter - she eats tuna salad and egg salad - but crab salad? (Crab meat I had - coupled it with some mayo, chopped capers, diced celery and a little salt, pepper and old bay seasoning, instant crab salad)
All I did was cut the tops off some cherry tomatoes, scoop out the insides (which, as an added healthy bonus, she actually ate all the pulp calling it 'fresh tomato soup') and stuffed the tomato shells with the crab salad - she ate them all!! These look so pretty and you can do them ahead - and of course, you could stuff them with egg salad or tuna salad or whatever...
