Roasting Cherry Tomatoes


I've never planted cherry tomatoes but they grow abundantly in my garden.  Apparently the previous owner had planted them and now they just reseed every year.  And boy, are they prolific.  I've found a way to use them up that doesn't take much time.  I roast them! 

First, I halve the cherry tomatoes.  You don't have to slice them but they roast quicker if you do. I use my Pampered Chef stoneware (that I found for $6 apiece at a consignment store).  Place your tomatoes into the pan(s).  Don't crowd them.  Drizzle with olive oil.  You can add salt, pepper, or other herbs but I just use the oil.  Roast in 425 degree oven for 30-45 minutes.  If you want an easier clean-up just line the pans with parchment paper or foil. 


When you pull them out of the oven they'll look like this:


After cooling, put the tomatoes into a container, label it, and pop it into the freezer. 


In the middle of winter, you'll be so happy to pull out a bag of summer goodness.  I love to add them to sauces, soups, pizza etc.  You'll love it too.

    Those look scrumptious! There is not a tomato to be found in our garden... hopefully soon though:) I am going to try this when I am flooded with them.

    Thanks for sharing this idea!

How To Make Your Own Exercise Bike For Next To Nothing

Remember back in April when I had a kidney transplant?  Well, the kidney is doing great (thanks, Cathy , for taking such good care of it when you owned it).  There was one little glitch, however.  During surgery, the retractors they used caused some nerve damage in my right leg.  When I woke up from surgery, I couldn't move or feel my leg.  The docs felt like the feeling would come back but the paralysis had them stumped.  A visit to a neurologist ruled out a stroke and a CT scan showed some fluid which was pressing on L4 and L5 (medical talk which means I couldn't feel or move part of my leg).  The prognosis is good and I'm recovering pretty quickly.  In fact, I've left my cane behind and I'm walking freestyle without falling.  My next goal is to be able to drive. I've been itching to get back to exercising (physical therapy doesn't count) because my medication causes me to gain weight and I need to burn some calories.  Running? - n...

A Designer's Secret For A Taller Bed

  Several years ago Hubs and I spent almost a year looking for a bedroom set that we both loved.  He wanted clean lines and dark wood.  I wanted curves and a "tall" bed.  Of course, there was no perfect bedroom set but we were able to compromise on a set that we both liked.  My main wish was for a bed that I could "climb up into".  The problem with that wish was that most of the "tall" beds were four poster beds and Hubs was not in the mood for that.  We found a Thomasville bed on display at a local furniture store and it fit the clean lines that Hubs wanted and it was "tall"  enough to suit me.  The problem was that once we received the bed we ordered in our home, it wasn't as tall as I had remembered it being.  My heart sunk!  I went back to the furniture store to look at the display.  Their bed was much taller than our bed.  Hmmm. . . what was different? I got nosey and lifted up the comforter on the ...

Plans For A DIY Exercise Bike Stand

  Thank you to so many of you who emailed me about plans for the DIY Exercise Bike Stand .  I apologize that it has taken me so long to get the measurements to you, but they are finally here!   The wood was purchased at Home Depot and the bike pegs were purchased at Walmart in the bike section.    The bike we used for this project is a 24" 12 speed bike (I'm a shorty).  I used the hardest gear while riding, but this set-up does not allow you to really get much resistance (for building muscle).  It was great for getting my legs moving after some nerve damage.  I also wanted to burn calories and get my heart rate up and this did the trick.    If you have any questions, just shoot me an email.
