Have you gained weight since entering your late 30s? Are you feeling more irritable, impatient and anxious? More sore? Foggy headed? WHY?
When progesterone starts to drop, which happens around the age of 35, your body becomes more inflamed. And that can lead to these common symptoms that come with perimenopause. Which is why reducing inflammation is a huge part of weight loss and feeling like yourself again in this phase of life.
One easy way to reduce inflammation and support hormonal balance is to eat more antioxidant- and fiber-rich foods. An easy way to do that is to make this simple yet delicious Easy Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce. Jammy and bursting with flavour, you can use this sauce on pasta or as the perfect burger topping.
Directions for Easy Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce
Preheat oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit.
Add the frozen tomatoes, garlic and carrot to an oven-safe dish, sprinkle with the salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil.
Roast until most of the water has evaporated and the tomatoes are caramelized and tender.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Transfer the tomato mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
This is perfect as a pasta sauce or to use as a condiment on your burger!
