This is a funny post from me...

but it had to be done.

I am not a cook, it's just not something I enjoy.

I do it out of necessity & most of the time

I make things that don't involve a lot of

ingredients, a lot of time or any cooking at all.

I usually eat fresh dishes with organic

vegetables & fruit, cheese & the addition of

some sort of bread, tortilla, wrap, etc.

But...last night was different.

I had picked an eggplant from the garden &

was determined to make something great from it.

The result was a complete sucess

& I was so proud of myself

I had to take a picture of it

(of course after I tasted a couple bites)!

It was my version of eggplant parmesan

because I didn'thave a lot of the required ingredients

I just went with the flow.

Below is the list of what I used

for my own future reference:

Sauce-1 1/2 cans of tomatoes, capers, garlic, olives,

basil from the garden, olive oil, salt & pepper

Eggplant-sliced, then a wash of flour, eggs, s&p,

covered in homemade bread crumbs, oregano

& put in the frying pan

Cheese mixture-havarti, feta, buffalo mozzarella,

parmesan, eggs, s&p,yellow onions, more basil & garlic

Then to the baking pan I added a layer of sauce,

lasagna noodles to cover, then the eggplant,

cheese mixture & repeated,

added a parmesan topping & baked for 45 min. @ 350.

It was so good I'm eating it for lunch too. Yum!

Has anyone else cooked a great vegetarian meal lately?
