Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I live in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle on an Urban Farm (w/ five laying hens and a huge garden). I am a trained chef (w/ a certificate in food preservation), taught at a cooking school & like to share 'kitchen hacks' - culinary tips that save time, money & maximize flavor. If that isn't enough, I also run a food+tech startup called Barn2Door.com - a platform to help everyone easily find & buy food directly from farmers, fishers & ranchers (from CSA's to urban farm eggs to 1/2 a grass-fed cow).

They might as well be candy---or dessert for that matter. Grilled Romas taste so sweet; they go amazingly well with Sausage Cream Pasta. Grilled Roma Tomatoes 6 Romas 2 cloves garlic, minced 2-3 T of olive oil Big pinch kosher salt Fresh ground pepper to taste 1-2 T fresh oregano

Cut roma tomatoes in half lengthwise. Mix all ingredients, place flesh side down on pre-heated BBQ. Cook over medium heat 2-5 minutes until warmed and charred. Serve pronto---oh, and try to share.
