This is a delicious home-made tomato soup I made quite a while ago at my sister's house (scanning the archives) that is simple to make and so rewarding! Tomato soup is comfort food - especially if accompanied by a grilled cheese sandwich, for example! We should all make this more often. 2 pints grape tomatoes 2 medium onions, peeled and diced 6 whole cloves garlic, peeled 1 tsp dried herbes de Provence (or Italian herbs) 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tsp kosher salt A good dash black pepper, to taste 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste Preheat oven to 400F.   Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl. Transfer to a large baking sheet and spread evenly.  Roast for about 30 minutes, or until tomatoes have wrinkled and onions are cooked through. You can stir half way through.   Extend cooking time as necessary. Slightly blackening the tomatoes will only give greater depth and flavor to the soup!

This is a simple yet delicious way to roast fish. Here I use haddock, but you could use most any fish including cod or tilapia. The tomatoes offer a fresh flavor complement to the fish slathered with a rich aioli topping. This is a quick, easy way to prepare fish on a busy weeknight. 1-1/2 lb haddock fillet (Captain’s cut preferred - thicker), patted dry Aioli: 1/4 cup good real mayonnaise 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 Tbsp favorite hot sauce 1 pint grape tomatoes 1/2 tsp dried dill weed Fresh parsley, minced, for garnish Lemon wedges for garnish Preheat oven to 375F. Oil a medium baking dish (about 7x10-inch). Lay haddock fillet in dish. Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard and hot sauce in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, cover the fillet evenly with the aioli sauce. Toss the tomatoes with a dash of olive oil and scatter them over the fish. Season with dill and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Bake fish for about 20 minutes, until just cooked through and the tomatoes begin to wilt....
