Stuffing and Tomatoes

This is an awesome dish and could be made in the winter, but I never do because I always want summer tomatoes.  Making this recipe always reminds me of my Mom.  She always had fresh homegrown tomatoes in the summer from her garden.  Plus, the smell of celery, onions and basil browning in butter also reminds me of her stuffing at Thanksgiving.  It's funny how certain smells bring back such great memories.  This one's for you Mom <3

INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 chopped onion
1 cup seasoned stuffing mix
4 tomatoes, cut in wedges
2 teaspoon sugar


1.  In skillet, melt butter and add seasonings, celery and onion.  Under medium heat, saute until crispy tender. 
2. Add stuffing mix and toss.  Add tomatoes and sugar; toss gently.
3. Reduce temperature slightly.  Cover and continue to cook until tomatoes are hot, yet firm.  About 10 minutes.
