Recipe: Eggplant Parmesan:

Today was just a day that called for a warm hearty meal for dinner... And since I refuse to cook on Friday's it was 'Hubby In The Kitchen'! 

He had bought an Eggplant a few days ago (not really sure why) so he said he was going to cook it for dinner. My first reaction was "Eww... Gross... Who eats Eggplants?!" I have actually never eaten an Eggplant before, but I knew in my mind I just hated them and they were gross (haha). 

In fact, Eggplants are super delicious, are actually rated as one of the world's healthiest foods, and have so many other health benefits. 

I have noted a few below:

*They contain Iron, Calcium, Fiber, and other minerals that supply essential nutrients to the body

*They contain certain essential phyto nutrients which improve blood circulation and nourish the brain.

*They are low in calorie

*They also have a role in heart care as well and can help lower bad cholesterol.

Now on to the Eggplant making...

Ingredients:

1 Eggplant

2 Eggs

1 Cup Flour

1 Cup Corn Meal

Salt

Pepper

Rinse and peel Eggplant then slice

In two separate bowls:

Mix your two eggs

Mix together your flour, corn meal, salt and pepper

Dip Eggplant into eggs then into flour mixture, making sure both sides are coated well

Place into warm vegetable oil until brown 

After placing the fried Eggplant onto paper towels to soak some grease, place Eggplants onto baking sheet, pour a little sauce onto each slice, cover with shredded Parmesan cheese, then broil until cheese is melted 

Serve on pasta, add a little more sauce, and of course more cheese

And Enjoy!

It was the perfect Friday night dinner and Charli absolutley LOVED it!!! 

She ate two whole Eggplant slices!!!!
