2 tablespoons olive oil
24 ounces cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 400°. Pour oil into a 9-inch x 13-inch broiler-proof baking dish. Add tomatoes, and turn to coat with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with parsley and cheese. Bake tomatoes until just plump and shiny, but not split, about 10 minutes. Preheat broiler. Broil tomatoes until they begin to split and cheese begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.

Why does this Haywood County town have some of the cleanest water in the state? It’s the result of the community’s efforts to keep the forests in its watershed pristine.
The spectacular views in North Carolina’s High Country aren’t just inspiration for writers, painters, and sculptors. Those landscapes — the rugged gray face of Grandfather Mountain, the vibrant fall leaves, the deep green meadows — are brushstrokes on Earth’s own canvas.
The sprawling vineyards and wide-open skies that stretch for miles across seven North Carolina counties offer relaxing getaways — not to mention some of the state’s finest wines — for Sunday drivers aching to escape the rush of city life.
Nothing lasts forever — and that’s what makes many of our cherished moments so special.
