Roasted Tomato Soup

My mom recently gave me a ton of tomatoes, all shapes and sizes, from her garden. I wanted to make sure I put them to good use because this is really the only time of year when tomatoes are worth eating.  I followed Tyler Florence’s recipe for roasted tomato soup and it was delicious. Perfect for a rainy fall day like today!

Middle-Eastern Spiced Beans (Fasoulia)

I love eating beans with eggs for breakfast, so now that the temps are dipping a little lower, I thought now would be a good time to make a big pot of these Middle Eastern-spiced beans to eat throughout the work week for breakfast. Topped with a fried egg, of course.

The recipe calls for kidney beans, but I used a mixture of kidney beans, chick peas, and black beans to use up what I had on hand.
