Eggplant parmesean

Yummy Eggplant Parmesean.

Slice the eggplant, salt it on both sides and let it sit for 30 min.

Then rinse the salt off and steam it for 10 min.

Dip the steamed eggplant in stoneground cornmeal.

Layer the eggplant with pasta sauce
and then cheese, repeating layers.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes covered

and then 10 more minutes uncovered.

Then feed your hungry, hardworking husband.
(The kids said NO WAY!)

yummy, healthy recipe

Jim and I started a Daniel Fast. This means no meat, dairy, sugar, bread etc.

Mostly just fruits and veggies.

I thought I would share some of our favorite recipes.

This is the Potato and Green Onion Frittata.

I added some zucchini, and green bell pepper.

You just start by sauteing onion and garlic in olive oil.

This is where you can add any veggie you want.

Then add some hash brown potatoes.

Then you put some firm tofu and soy sauce in a food processor to blend it.

I used Bragg's Amino Acids instead of soy sauce.

You stir in the green tops of the green onion,

and then stir the tofu in with the cooked hashbrown and

veggie mix.

Bake it and voila!

Jim and Callie really liked it.

It tastes kind of like eggs and hashbrowns.

Tofu does not really taste, it takes on the taste of whatever you cook it with.

Anything you add salsa to tastes better!

more yummy stuff

I have been inspired lately to cook healthier things for my family.

This is my attempt at making hummus.

I love hummus.....

I used a little too much paprika.

But I still thought it was yummy.

So today I felt a little more creative and this is what I made.


I don't know what to call it but I used:
Spinach, strawberries, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, fresh minced garlic,
salt and pepper all mixed together.



Then I heated up this Naan bread for 3 min.
Sprinkled some shredded Romano cheese on top.
Then topped it with the spinach mixture.



It was soooooo yummy!
Jim and I did not even share it with the kids.

yummy

Doesn't this look yummy!

A little Caprese salad for lunch.
I am trying really hard to eat healthier.
But to be honest with you, sometimes it makes me feel guilty.
It really is more expensive to eat healthier.
I could feed our entire family on hamburger helper for less than $5.
(I know! That is so gross!)
We all know organic fruit is more expensive.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this yummy, healthy lunch.
I also had some Indian Naan bread. Garlic. mmmmmm
