Sun-dried Cherry Tomatoes

September 2, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

These are my candy. Is it possible to eat too many cherry tomatoes? I’m being serious… I cannot control myself; it’s a real problem. I only planted two cherry tomato plants this year.

Roasted Eggplant with Goat Cheese and Sun-dried Tomatoes

I said I was working on some eggplant recipes. Inspiration for this recipe came from Smitten Kitchen’s Eggplant with Yogurt and Tomato Relish recipe. Link to the recipe here. The recipe popped up on my Facebook feed a few weeks ago, and I immediately fixated on it. I just happen to have Japanese eggplant thriving in my garden. I made these roasted eggplants a few times until I got the recipe exactly how I wanted it, and they are perfection! Eggplant roasted with olive oil, garlic power, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and then topped with goat cheese, homemade sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, and chives….even someone who thinks they don’t like eggplant, will love these.
