Roasted tomatoes are one of my fav toppings for salads, meats, toasts, and just about anything I can add them to.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Roasting them brings out all the flavour and makes them so juicy.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here's how to make them:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INGREDIENTS⁠⠀
2 cups baby tomatoes, halved⁠⠀
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil⁠⠀
1/4 tsp garlic powder⁠⠀
1/4 tsp dried thyme⁠⠀
1/4 tsp coarse salt⁠⠀
ground pepper⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INSTRUCTIONS⁠⠀
Pre-heat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Mix together tomatoes, olive oil, thyme, garlic powder, coarse salt and a pinch of pepper.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Spread tomatoes in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until tomatoes are soft and fragrant.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You can also click the link in my bio to see how I added them to my pesto salad!⁠⠀

I’m finishing up my case of peaches from BC and saying a little farewell to summer with this Peach Basil Wine Spritzer.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It takes only 4 ingredients for this cocktail to come together and I love using my copper mugs to keep everything refreshing and cool (and they look really good too). Here's the recipe:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INGREDIENTS⁠⠀
1/2 peach, chopped⁠⠀
3 large basil leaves⁠⠀
pinch sugar⁠⠀
4 oz white wine I love sauvignon blanc with this cocktail⁠⠀
2 oz sparkling water⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INSTRUCTIONS⁠⠀
Add peach pieces, basil leaves and a pinch of sugar to a mason jar. Using a wooden spoon or muddler, smash the peach pieces with basil a couple of times until the peaches start to release their juices.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Add in the white wine and stir a couple of times. Fill a moscow mule mug half-way with ice, pour the peach-white wine mixture into the mug and then top with sparkling water. Cheers & enjoy!⁠⠀
