Attack of the cherry tomatoes!!!


So everyone laughed when I said I planted 4 cherry tomato plants and I didn't quite understand when they said I was going to have way too many. They weren't kiddinng.... I have WAY WAY too many! I don't even like fresh tomatos (but I soooo wish I did, they look amazing). I literally can't pick them all. There is a layer of tomatoes that have fallen off and are just laying under the bushes, yes I meant to say bushes!, and are turning into compost!
I put Brielle to work helping pick them last night and we still didn't really make a dent. However, we did pick A TON. So I needed to find something to do with them all. I found a recipe for tomato bread that looks awesome, I'm excited to try it tomorrow to go with lunch. 

For dinner I decided to roast a cookie sheet full with a little olive oil, salt, garlic, and basil at 300 degrees for about an hour. Then I tossed them with some whole wheat penne, spinach, garlic, olive oil and parm. I threw it in the oven on 350 for about 30 minutes.

  1. If you've got extras, I'll take whatever you don't want!! I just half them and throw them in with the regular tomatoes for spaghetti sauce, ketchup etc etc etc
