Oven-Roasted Fruit
"I got this from one of the Barefoot Contessa's cookbooks. She is one of my favorite cooks and everything she makes is very elegant and simple. I have been making this for awhile now and it is a great treat for when the fruit is in season."

Since my childhood i have LOVED food and cooking. Anything associated with food and cooking. I have an extensive collection of recipes, numbering around 50,000 from various cookbooks, friends and family members that have passed them along. I spend a lot of time cooking and gardening. I am currently working on starting my own catering business out of my home and love incorporating other families recipes in with my own.
Right now my husband is the main taste tester. Our son is too young to try anything, but my husband can't wait until he can help eat things. My husband jokes i will need to give birth to a football team to put away the amount of food i cook for him to try.
We live in North Carolina and both work for the same company as Networking Engineers.
