Pre - Prepared Items for even Faster Serving Times The stuffing for the tomatoes can be made up to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. |
Money Savers This recipe substitutes low-cost sunflower seeds for high-priced pine nuts. However, you can use almost any mild-flavored nut or seed-such as walnuts, pecans or pumpkin seeds. |
Serving Variation:
For a great flavor combination, add 2 table spoons crumbled feta cheese to the cream cheese in step 2.
