No idea where she found a pencil but she really gave the wall and bookcase a work out. She will not contain her muse to a piece of paper. She has colored on everything in this house, we hide writing utensils like most people hide matches.
So the eggplant. I have mentioned my Meta Givens cookbook before, I found a recipe for Eggplant En Casserole and had all the ingredients so what the heck. I made some changes because I strongly believe onions are bigger now that they were in 1947.
Eggplant (peeled and diced mine was about 4 cups)
2 tomatoes sliced (peeled, but I didn't because how do you do that?)
1C cheese ( I used cheddar jack also I don't measure cheese I just throw handfuls)
Butter
Breadcrumbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
Saute the eggplant and onion is butter until semi cooked about 5 minutes. Then layer eggplant/onion then tomato then cheese then repeat. On the top sprinkle more cheese and some breadcrumbs. Put a few dabs of butter on top. Cook at 375 for about half and hour.
Bud and I both loved this, the tomatoes added a nice bit of freshness. Owen nearly vomited just looking at it, and Ellie liked the first bite but refused anymore. Maddie at three helpings, of course she thinks edamame is a huge treat so she is not your typical kid. Definitely something I will make again. Owen use to eat tons of vegetables but has been more picky since hanging out with more kids, I think since he use to love veggies as a little kid he will eventually get back to them as he gets older. I hope.
I can't wait to see what this Saturday brings.

I love how each of your kids reacted to the eggplant. I also have a kid who practically vomits just by looking at something slightly out of the norm.
Oh, we have the same writing on the walls problem with Veronica! I can never, ever find a pen when I need one because I have to hide them everywhere.
