There are three things I love about this eggplant parmigiana recipe: delicious, easy, and healthy (OK, healthier). There is no dipping the eggplant into egg whites to bread it, and there is no frying. Any type of breading like that is always a messy process for me. It takes forever! This recipe is much faster and tastes so good. Continue reading Eggplant Parmigiana Made Easy

Grilled Corn in Creamy Sriracha Sauce
Grilled Corn in Creamy Sriracha Sauce was inspired by a side of corn I ordered last week at The Little Owl in West Village, New York. And to think we almost passed this dish by.

These were delicious and there’s nothing left except a few tomatoes and cucumbers on the counter. Mission accomplished and it was a success! Continue reading Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
Scrambled Eggs with a Venetian Buffet
If this post had sound, you’d hear the calls of cardinals and eastern sparrows from the treetops that surround our bedroom porch. It’s the setting for our traditional brunch that takes place every weekend at our house. From the bedroom you’d hear soft Italian love songs, and from far off in the distance you’d hear the traffic moving across the Tennessee River bridge and up Sand mountain to the small towns in northeast Alabama.
