Just like Nana

I love big portions and satisfying comfort food. I try to emulate all the great, rich food that I enjoy and make it work in a healthy lifestyle without feeling deprived.

 

This is a take on my Grandmothers Eggplant parm and Lasagna.  I hope you all enjoy it

A little eggplant tip

Nobody wants to bite into tough chewy eggplant. Here is a great tip to do before assembling an eggplant dish.

Slice your eggplant thin and season with salt and pepper. Pop in the oven on a cookie sheet at 350 for 15-20 min 

Let cool down before assembling dish
