Ratatouille is a dish of stewed vegetables, which can be served in a casserole type form. There are a couple of ways of making it, the way we made it was by layering it and baking it. We used a stoneware baking dish, and it turned out very tasty. You can eat it as a meal, or as a side dish. You can also use a number of different vegetables. We ended up using eggplant, tomato, cucumber, onion, and green peppers, all of which we obtained fresh the day before from Ashley’s dad’s garden.

Enchiladas, like most Mexican food, is pretty delicious. They are also fairly easy, which I like. This recipe we found from Simply Recipe’s (http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/moms_chicken_enchiladas-print/) and they turned out great.

The only caveat is that I’m not sure the exact amounts of “chili powder” we used, because we tend to just make our own to taste for each meal. But, as long as you keep trying the sauce until it tastes like you want it, you should be fine. We also made some minor modifications to the meal, so away we go.

Sun Dried Tomato Chicken

Sun dried tomatoes are pretty delicious (in fact, they’re one of the few “styles” of tomato that Ashley will eat). The fact that you can make them yourself from fresh tomatoes or buy them bagged for long-term tomato storage is also nifty. They are also super healthy for you! One way to serve them is to stuff them into some chicken, then stuff the chicken into your mouth.

Let’s get started, shall we?

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

So, in light of the fact that I absolutely LOVE eggplant parm and it is the only sub that I will ever buy if given the choice, we decided to make it and share with you what we did. This particular version has baked eggplant with panko breadcrumbs, which keeps it healthier than its fried counterpart AND it is still very crunchy due to the panko (Japanese breadcrumbs… always stay crunchy… please go buy them next time you’re at the grocery store!). It also includes a chunky tomato sauce that we made from a few cans of whole tomatoes that we smashed down and added a few other things to.
