I was hungry so I took a bite before we got

the picture. I served it with Cucumber Salad

and Sparkling Water with Lime. I had grapes

for dessert.

This is my fall-back quick recipe when I have no time to plan anything. It takes about as long as it takes to slice a tomato. I've made it with little tiny cherry tomatoes and the regular vine-ripened tomatoes.

I have a toaster oven and I love it. I use it for so many things. If you don't have a toaster oven you can make these with the broiler in your oven.

The sharp cheddar cheese I buy at Fresh and Easy is already pre-sliced and is 3/4 of an ounce. So a lot of taste with only a few points. The melted cheese tastes so good! Since Amy was making pictures I made one for her and one for me!

Fiddle Version Toasted Tomato Cheese Sandwich

1 slice whole grain bread

4 slices of vine-ripened tomato

small sprinkle of Kosher salt and Freshly ground pepper.

1 slice of sharp cheddar cheese (NOT low fat or non-fat)

Layer all ingredients and then toast in toaster oven until cheese is melted.

3 points*. I served it with a 1/4 cup of cucumber salad, which is zero points* and then I had 20 grapes afterward which was one point. Sometimes I'll have a mandarin orange afterward instead. So total lunch with fruit was 4 points*.
