Using Fresh Roma Tomatoes

Roma tomatoes from my garden. I roasted some in the oven, made caprese salad and manicotti. The sauce on the manicotti is homemade, using the same fresh tomatoes from the garden.

Here are the links to the recipes I used.

It's a Blooming Onion!

Below is the video I followed to make the blooming onion, I didn't follow it exactly but pretty much.

It turned out really really good! I used 2 good size candy onions that I grew in planters out on my deck this summer. I had many other smaller size candy onions that I used in numerous other things I cooked this summer, like chicken noodle soup and homemade tomato sauce. Pictures and recipes for those coming soon.
