Home Spa

This is where you can find ideas for rest, rejuvination, and nutrition that you can do at home. We try to synchronise our ideas with the changes brought on by the seasons, that enables us to notice and enjoy what's fresh and available, and also feeds our desire to be more connected with the earth.

Herb Roasted Tomatoes
[ Print This Recipe... on recycled paper! ]

This is one of my favorite ideas for late harvest tomatoes, and one of the signs that Fall is really here. Farmer's markets and roadside stands are great places for finding heirloom varieties, and buying in bulk. The sweet, concentrated flavor of organic tomatoes makes them worth seeking out. Roasted tomatoes are wonderful on toasted bagels with cream cheese, chopped and added to mushroom and olives for pasta, or straight from the jar!

Ingredients
tomatoes- smaller ones work well
onions
garlic
extra virgin olive oil
fresh herbs such as rosemary & thyme

Preheat oven to 350. Cut tomatoes in halves or quarters, the pieces should be about the size of a silver dollar. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet, cut sides up and brush with olive oil. Slice the onion and sprinkle them over the tomatoes. Peel the skins from the garlic cloves and place them between tomato pieces. Cut and sprinkle the fresh herbs over the top. Bake for about 2 hours, depending upon how many tomatoes you used and how large your pieces are. Let them cool, then pack the tomatoes along with the onion, garlic, and herbs into glass jars and top with olive oil. Store them in the refridgerator. Enjoy!



Roasted Root Vegetables
[ Print This Recipe... on recycled paper! ]

For many people, eating with the seasons (eating what's in season) is a way to celebrate and appreciate the diversity of what each season brings. It's also beneficial in the sense that it encourages you to eat a wider variety of foods, which helps to ensure that you are getting all of the neccesary vitamins and minerals need to keep you healthy. If you are lucky enough to have a Farmer's Market in your area, it's a great way to get both fresh ideas and fresh produce.
