Hades presented Persephone with a bowl of pomegranate seeds, she ate a few, binding herself to the Lord of the Underworld & thrusting Earth into several months of winter for all of eternity ... at least according to Greek mythology. As November nears, we balance on the precipice of change .... too many changes in fact, so let's focus on the seasons. Specifically, POMEGRANATE season. Nutrient-dense with powerful anti-inflammatory properties, this high-fiber fruit is the perfect accompaniment to Granola, Salad or your own version of Hell. 🖤⁠

Tomato Soup was my lunchbox favorite.⁠ Unscrewing my thermos lid & pouring the rich, creamy broth into the small, handled cup. Nothing better ... except maybe the swings after?! Even if you're not back-in-school, tomato soup is a great way to welcome autumn. Working or schooling at home? Even better ... you can toast up a grilled cheese to serve alongside. 💙⁠

Autumn has arrived. ⁠ While the long-awaited sea

Autumn has arrived. ⁠
While the long-awaited seasonal fruits ... figs, persimmons, pears, passion fruit, apples, plums, grapes ... tempt our sun-weary palette ... let's not forget the tomato. Fall brings a bounty of late harvest options that tend to be less acidic than their summer cousins. If you want to cozy up against that slight chill in the air, try roasting. Perfect on salads, tartines or simply on their own. 💙⁠
⁠
ROASTED TOMATOES⁠
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.⁠
Spread tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet.⁠
Generously coat in olive oil.⁠
Sprinkle lightly with sea salt.⁠
Roast until blistered & beginning to burst, about 30 minutes.⁠
