The backstory.

Every summer I seem to end up with more cherry tomatoes than I know what to do with. They somehow sneak into my grocery cart, then the garden joins in, and before long I've got bowls of them on the counter. Luckily, they're one of the easiest ingredients to cook with. Toss them into pasta, blend them into salsa, scatter them over salads, or roast them until they're sweet and jammy. They're simple, versatile, and they make almost every meal feel a little brighter.
