Roasted Cherry Tomato Jam
August is tomato season here in my little corner of Northern California. When the tomatoes come on, they do so all at once and it forces me to find different uses and recipes to create so we can enjoy them for the short 6-8 week time they are available. Roasted Cherry Tomato Jam is a family favorite! My Tomato Jam is a wonderful accompaniment for many dishes. My favorite way to enjoy it is over fresh Burrata cheese with crackers as shown in the photo. If you’re not familiar with Burrata cheese, think soft, creamy, stringy cheese curd with a firm mozzarella shell. It’s like a mozzarella water balloon filled…

Whole30 Quick and Easy Avgolemono Soup
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here. This Whole30 quick and easy, creamy, lemony, chicken soup is only 7 ingredients. It’s a one pot meal that’s a lifesaver for busy nights when you crave something indulgent and hearty but prefer a dish that’s light and healthy too.
