Yummy, Sister! That milkshake looks soooo delicious, I can't wait to try it. Makes me really miss you :) I know what you mean about kids not eating what you cook sometimes - Megan is pretty picky too, so I never know with these recipes what she will actually eat or not. I could probably just cook Mac&Cheese, chicken nuggets, grilled cheese sandwiches or turkey burger patties every night, and they'd be happy. What do your kids like the best? Last night I made Mom's Eggplant Parmesan. Yum! I love this recipe because it's like eating a lasagna without the noodles & carbs! Let me know if you already make this!! You're the best with spices in your sauces :), so I bet your version is even tastier!
SAUCE: Saute 3 cloves of garlic & half an onion in oil. Add ground turkey and cook.
Stir in your favorite red marinara sauce with fennel seeds, salt & pepper to taste. Simmer.
EGGPLANT: Peel and slice 2 eggplants, slices should be about 1/2 inch thick. Lay the slices in a Pyrex casserole dish, add water, cover and cook in the microwave for 5-10 minutes until the eggplant is cooked.
CASSEROLE: Assemble layers like a lasagna - sauce, eggplant, mozzarella cheese, etc. and top with mozzarella. (Sometimes I assemble one large casserole, or sometimes I split it into two smaller sized ones. Depends on if I want leftovers or not, or how many are eating. I'll either freeze the extra or give it to a friend).
COOK: In oven at 350 until bubbly, about 20 minutes. I like raising the temp at the end to 425 and browning the cheese a little.
Love you, sister! Have a great weekend!
Hugs to you and the kiddos,
Me
P.S. Megan did NOT eat this ... but when Mom is here and makes it, she loves it. Argh!!
