oven roasted tomatoes

Over the last month tomatoes have been a hot topic among food bloggers looking for new ways to use up their tomato glut.  I also had more than enough tomatoes to experiment with but I love the simplicity of oven roasted tomatoes too much to bother.  Cherry tomatoes cut in half and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Seasoned with salt and sprinkled with fresh oregano.  Eaten like sweets, lovely.

Or perhaps you’d prefer using dried rosemary.

If you don’t have any red tomatoes left green cherry tomatoes work just as well I’ve found (can’t vouch for larger tomato varieties).  I added a tablespoon of brown sugar per lb of tomatoes to temper any sour tang from using unripe fruit.  Thankfully it worked and apart from the less appetising colour they’ve disappeared just as quickly as the ruby red toms.

The 3 degrees of roasted toms.  L to R:  ripe reds, half ripe yellows, unripe greens

    I had never had roasted tomatoes until you cooked them for us once and I’ve never looked back! So yummy!

    Denise – oh yes. Yummy.

    Bilbo – mmm they did. My mouth waters just thinking about them!

    Lucy – in an airtight container they keep for several weeks if they’ve dried out well enough. Some people have mentioned freezing them but I’ve not tried it myself

    Jas – that’s nice to know :o) look forward to swapping more recipes x

    Yum! I just put up 30 lbs of tomatoes (sadly, not my own as they don’t succeed in my foggy backyard), including some oven-roasted that I’ve put in the freezer for colder times. Here’s what I did with them and some recipes (definitely recommend the tomato jam): http://togetherinfood.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/how-to-have-a-tomato-extravaganza-canned-jammed-sauced-toasty-recipe/

      ‘tomato anything’ sounds right up my street. 30lbs though! You must have been dreaming of tomatoes once you collapsed into bed after all that cooking. Well worth it though.

The boys and I took a walk to beautiful Lassington The boys and I took a walk to beautiful Lassington Woods and the hill that was covered in snow just a month ago.  We loved seeing all the hand made signs warning us where to walk to protect the bluebells.  I'm so grateful for this week's sunny spells.

Hope you've been able to get out and soak up the hope of new life and brighter days emerging x

I had a gorgeous bimble on Haresfield Beacon with I had a gorgeous bimble on Haresfield Beacon with the boys yesterday.  We parked at our favourite Standish Woods and walked the 30 minutes to the top.  We took a wrong path at one point and had to scramble like mountain goats up the side of the  hill (absolutely the highlight, such fun!). While Euan and I took some pictures on the trig point Luca took himself off to admire the view. 
.
The boys were amazing with running around and walking all the way back too.  They didn't complain until the final uphill stretch but rightly so as it was hard going.  It's so good to get outside and it's a long time since my body has felt hot and our of breath from exertion!

We were blessed with sunshine for our walk on Stinchcombe Hill.  The boys loved the bunkers on the golf course and we were able to get some gorgeous food to take out afterwards from @leafandground (such a treat to be cooked for). Of course the best birthday present was bunking off school work for the day! (For Euan that is, I'm now cracking open my anatomy folder for an hour for tomorrow's college session while G gets the boys to bed).
Last week I felt overwhelmed, exhausted and frustr Last week I felt overwhelmed, exhausted and frustrated.  Home schooling children while trying to fulfil all my other commitments wasn't working out so well.  I realised this when robbing from my sleep bank resulted in the tell tale headaches that lead to a migraine.
.
This week, with the start of a new month, I resolved to prioritise rest (everything gets ugly on rubbish sleep!). I need 8 hours sleep.  I need quiet time to stretch (without children climbing on me or asking for food!). I need to walk in nature.  I need to connect with people outside my family, as Nic, not always as Mum to Euan and Luca.  And sometimes I need to moan, to stop holding everything, to let the stagnant energy out and the fresh loving energy in. 
.
I drew up a list of what supports a headache free life and started ticking things off (I did this on day 3 so have no guilt about those blank boxes at the start of the month!). I'm resolved to keep up the ticks.  I expect there will be days with gaps (like today's rain thwarting a nature walk) but I'm ok with that too. 
.
The day I drew up my tracker I also decided to draw a cards from my Lunar cycle oracle cards deck and the Universe has your back.  I think they confirmed I'm on the right track.  Taking care of your body can never be a bad option to go with!!!

Snow doesn't stick in the city so today we found a hill.  George's Dad had made the boys a sledge from an old car seat.  What fab recycling 😊🛷

Euan loves Dav Pilkey's Dogman books and in the back of the latest one Grime and Punishment are instructions for making your own lunch bag monster.  Euan just got straight onto making his monster and I enjoyed making Luca's.  Munchy then went on a rampage at the park 😆

Luca did a spectacular welly boot save when the mud suckered it off but he managed to land his foot back inside it without falling over.  The boys were wet through by the time we got back to the car.  They soon warmed up at Grandad's sat in pants watching cartoons and eating crisps.  A pretty stellar day all in all!

It seemed the perfect day for getting a few pics to round off the 2020 album.  According to G the days of "normal" smiles in photos are long gone.  We live with a pair of comedians!
