Last week while flipping through a magazine and eating my morning breakfast, I came across an idea. Why not top tostadas with slaw! Thus, my black bean tostadas with garlic cabbage slaw recipe was born.

Have you ever tried roasting tomatoes? They make a pasta sauce that is out of this world! For a spring-time dinner, I roasted asparagus right along with cherry tomatoes to make this roasted cherry tomato and asparagus pasta!
