Ingredients:

4                   beefsteak tomatoes
2     teaspoons     vegetable oil
2                   celery stalks
1                   onion
1                   garlic clove
2     slices        whole-wheat bread
1/2   cup           chopped mushrooms
2     tablespoons   minced parsley
1/2   teaspoon      dried sage
1/4   teaspoon      salt
1/4   teaspoon      freshly-ground black pepper
2     tablespoons   grated Parmesan cheese

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

To prepare the tomato shells, slice off the stem end of each tomato; cut away the stem base and finely chop the usable pulp from the tops. With a grapefruit spoon, carefully scoop out the pulp from the tomatoes; place the tomato pulp in a small bowl. Invert the tomato shells onto a plate; let stand 30 minutes to drain.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10- by 6- inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the celery, onion and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bread crumbs, mushrooms, parsley, sage, salt, pepper and the reserved tomato pulp; cook, stirring as needed, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Spoon the filling into the tomato shells; sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top of each. Place upright in the pan and bake until heated through, about 25 minutes.
