Let’s start the week out sensibly, shall we? These tomatoes are so tasty and so easy to make you wont even think of them as smart and healthy! I also love how fresh they are. In the middle of winter here in Maine, the smell of tomatoes, garlic, and basil bring to a warmer place. Even my 21 month old daughter loved smelling the fresh basil!

Ingredients
- 4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 3 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella, about 1/2 cup
- 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
