So, if you are in the mood for something healthy, this isn't just good, it is AMAZING! These are super healthy and super dooper yummy. I hope you enjoy them too :).
5 large tomatoes tops sliced off at the stem
1 lb. lean ground meat
1 onion diced
1 cup green cabbage chopped
1 cup spinach chopped
1 TBSP minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1 TBSP italian seasoning
1 TBSP parsley
1/2 cup cottage cheese
Remove the tops of you tomatoes and discard. Gut the inside and save 1 1/2 cups of pulp. Begin to brown your meat in water instead of oil. Chop up the pulp of the tomatoes and save. Add the garlic, s & p, onions, and cabbage after the meat has been mostly cooked (3 minutes) and cook another 3 minutes or so. If you need more water, just add little bits at a time to keep it from burning/sticking. In the last minute of cook time add the spinach, tomato pulp, cottage cheese and other seasonings. Taste and adjust seasonings. Fill up the tomatoes heaping full with the mixture and place on a baking stone or foil lined sheet. Cover with a marinara sauce (if desired) Cook at 350 for 25 minutes.
variations:

substitute sausage for meat
change all seasonings to taco/mexican seasoning and add salsa on top
