Post-Vacation Blues and Pinteresting Finds

Yep, I have PVB.  It’s hard to come home to reality after being on vacation. 

However, I am glad to return to a normal routine and normal eating. 

Even though we do try to eat some healthy meals on vacation, there is always a considerable amount of junk.  On the way home yesterday, I was on Pinterest (a.k.a. Major Time Sucker) and these tomatoes were looking all kinds of delish.  I thought I would make them for lunch today. 

I didn’t have any fresh oregano, so I subbed fresh basil which worked great.  I cut the recipe in half since I was just making them for me. 

 

These tomatoes were delicious.  I am not sure what I was expecting, but I loved these a lot more than I thought I would.  It was like biting into a fresh and delicious Italian dish but without all the pasta.  I added some tuna salad on the side for a filling lunch.

If you’re looking for an easy and quick vegetable side dish, give these a try.  Here is the recipe.  Plus, with tomatoes being in season, it’s a very economical dish, too!
