Yesterday I needed something quick for lunch because I had to get back to watching my Tivo & surfing the internet. It was a Holiday weekend after all! I ran into the kitchen and put these two eggplant cutlets on a baking sheet & into the oven they went:

I broke out some of the Trader Joe’ Italian Tomato Starter Sauce. Yesterday was the first time I tried it— It was pretty darn good.

And then I took out some of the grated Parmesan & Romano Cheese Blend- Because everything goes better with Parmesan in my opinion…

Added that all together and here we are! A nice little lunch:

It could not be any easier than that! I didn’t even have to leave the house because all these items were tucked away in my fridge & on my pantry shelf.

Now, if you make this- put some freshly chopped basil on top. It’s screaming for some!

    it’s sacrilege in my family…don’t tell my grandma! Sometimes your hunger can make you do things you wouldn’t normally do. I think my grandma would understand that part of it 😉

    […] cooked egg plant before. Turns out it wasn’t so difficult. Little bit of this, little bit of that and voilà. I don’t think it’s French though… The French probably hate me for […]
