When I'm trying to step up my vegetable eating game, it's easy for me to get stuck in a salad rut. I tend to make the same old pile of lettuce, a few chopped carrots and maybe a cucumber or bell pepper. After a while it's just...well...boring. And eating - even eating healthfully - shouldn't be boring. 

A recent trip to Costco yielded one of those huge, ten pound bags of carrots. There are two adults in our house...which means that's a lot of carrots. My husband, being very practical and logical, graciously questioned why we needed ten pounds of carrots. I assured him we did - and that none of them would go to waste.

It has been a busy few weeks. Apparently in the midst of the busyness, September showed up. Is it just me, or does it seem like this month came out of nowhere? Last I knew, I was brainstorming a thousand different summer recipes, and the hubs and I were researching the grill we were finally going to buy.

I think it'll be a while before I make this recipe again - not because I didn't like it, but because I made it and ate the entire batch. I started with two pounds of cherries. TWO POUNDS! Gone. Just like that - and that doesn't even take into account the bread and cheese I ate. Oy.

These Garlic + Thyme Roasted Tomatoes take only a few minutes to prep, but the flavor you get is incredible. The tomatoes get sweeter as they cook and the garlic and thyme add the perfect savory touch. Spread on a fresh baguette for a perfect snack or appetizer!
