Cherry Tomatoes and Citrus. An unlikely pair. This is what happens when I have items in my fridge that I don’t want to go to waste and I’m in need of a tasty snack.  I’m quite resourceful when it comes to odds and ends in the fridge. Creating this recipe was quite fun.

Enter bread, balsamic and my oven. This simple recipe will be delight your taste buds and please a crowd if you’re entertaining. Roasting the veggies pulls out a sweetness that is unmatched. The tang of Balsamic adds a nice rounded touch what I’m calling “the duo of delight”. This post is image heavy, so enjoy!  Photo guide and recipe are below.
