Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes 🍅

It that time of year when people in the northern states who planted tomatoes are getting ready to pick them. Now what are we going to do with all of them. You can only make so many salads. 

Unless you are a canner, I had to look this up. I wasn’t to sure there are people called canners, you are going to have more tomatoes then you know what to do with. Oops, I all ready said this, but it’s sooo true.

This is a good time to get to know your neighbors, maybe they grew too many cucumbers or onions and you can exchange tomatoes for some of their vegetables. Or...
