Lori try this:
Fried Green Tomatoes
1 cup cornmeal
5 medium green tomatoes cut in 1/4 - to 3/8 -inch slices
1/2 cup vegetable oil or bacon fat
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 sprigs cilantro (fresh coriander) (optional)

Sprinkle cornmeal on a piece of wax paper or a large flat plate. Dip each
tomato slice into cornmeal and pat gently until cornmeal covers the surface;
turn slice over and coat the other side.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tomato slices, and fry
in one layer, without crowding, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden
brown.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with sprigs of
cilantro.

and if you are watching fat content as I have to do, try this:
Low-Fat Fried Green Tomatoes

Green tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
No-fat Italian salad dressing
Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
Non-stick cooking spray

Place tomatoes and dressing in a sealed plastic bag; marinate in the
refrigerator as little 10 minutes or as long as a day.

Shake off excess dressing; roll tomato slices in bread crumbs. Spray broiling
pan with non-stick spray; broil tomato slices until brown. Turn; broil until
second side is brown. Or, cook tomatoes in saute pan sprayed with non-stick
spray.
Eat and enjoy.....Bonnie
