Ina's Pesto Tomatoes

I made these roasted tomatoes with pesto after seeing them on Ina's show. They were rewarmed before dinner and tasted great, but it was hard to get enough salt into each bite.

Strawberry Oat Squares

I made this recipe from a blog that keeps popping up on Taste Spotting, Oh She Glows. Taste Spotting is probably my favorite food blog (as of today).

(before they were baked)
Oh She Glows focuses on vegan food. I made these bars, but skipped the vegan parts, and used a real egg, and a combination of butter and brown rice syrup, instead of the vegan 'butter' in the recipe. Also, I bought jam instead of making it. As an aside, I bought the jam at Safeway and it was a true effort to find jam that had only fruit, pectin and sugar in the ingredients list. No wonder our country is full of fatties...even something as simple as jam has a ton of ingredients, most of which include high fructose corn syrup. I hope the farm bill is changed next year.

Anyhow, these are a super treat. A great flavor, I love the jam, and they do remind me of Nutri Grain bars, but about 1000x better. This is breakfast for the next week.
