Roasted Yellow Tomato Salsa Recipe with Cilantro |Gluten-Free Goddess® Recipes. How am I occupying my fevered little brain as we wait (not so patiently) for more house showings? How do I keep my spirits up as we start this selling process all over again? I dream up recipes. I lay in bed at 3 AM with visions of salsa in my head. I conjure excuses for roasting yellow tomatoes. I imagine frittatas with leftover pasta. Vanilla cupcakes with mocha icing. Pecan crackers. This is my life.

We have a fridge full of blueberries just picked from the blueberry bushes in our back yard, so I thought this would be the perfect time to experiment with making a few new recipes. I love anything with blueberries! My favorites are blueberry pancakes and blueberry muffins, both made with coconut flour.
This time I thought I would try a blueberry jam recipe because it’s a healthy delicious spread to put on breads or crackers and it is so simple to make!
