STUFFED EGGPLANT recipe

I saw this on TLC the other day and had to share it with you guys. I will be trying this tommorrow night. Only thing I am going to alter is the mortadella for Italian sausage.

INGREDIENTS

3 baby eggplants
1 pound mortadella, diced or chunked
1 ball fresh mozzarella, diced (about 1 pound)
3 whole canned tomatoes, drained and chopped (from 14 ounce can, San Marzano)
1 clove garlic, chopped/pressed
2 eggs
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated and divided
3/4 cup chopped parsley, divided


PREPARATION:

1.Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.

2.Cut baby eggplants in half horizontally. Using a spoon, hollow out the inside of the eggplant, creating a cavity to stuff. Chop and reserve half the innards of the eggplant.

3.In a large bowl combine, reserved chopped eggplant, diced mortadella, mozzarella, chopped tomatoes, garlic clove, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. When all ingredients are well combined, stir in 1/2 cup of chopped parsley. Mix until incorporated.

4.Using a spoon, stuff the inside of the hollowed-out eggplants with the mixture. The mixture should be mounded. Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed eggplant with the remaining parmesan cheese.

5.Roast in oven for 15-20 minutes, until the eggplants are cooked and the filling is hot. Remove and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley. Serve warm.

a little ME time.

So today I was asked a pretty interesting question; "Are stay at home mothers/wifes more jealsous then working mothers/wifes!?"

I may be a little bias being a stay at home mom and all BUT I’d have to say…yes! Although not for the reasons that most would think. When you are working you may not get much free time but you still get out of the house. You get more adult conversation and peace and quite while driving two and from work. Where as for the stay at home mom may feel trapped in the house with the kids all the time and feel as if any break from the day to day housework and/or raising of the kids can allow for a little breathing time. Everybody needs to have a little “me time”. So make sure its always given.

If you only knew...

Having one of them days
I feel its raining but there’s no rain.
Only wish I knew how you feel
Because what I feel for you is so real.

When I need you, you’re always there,
I know that you always will be.
Always telling me that you care.
Can’t say that you don’t know the real me.
But what I’m trying to say boy
Is that you’re driving me crazy.
I want to be here for you
But you’ve been distant lately.

I’m sorry that she did you wrong.
I’m sorry that she cause you pain.
But I know that you can do better.
So just forget her name.
And I know I’ll always be here
Here, right by your side.

Real.

What is being real!? Does it exist anymore? How can we be deeply authentic if we think that "how we look" is top priority? Of course, caring about our appearance and being healthy is not unimportant or "beneath us." We each have our own personal "way of being," our God-given uniqueness that makes up our character and image. But while everybody is worried about the outer beauty, we need to remember that its only skin deep and that true beauty lies with in.

Because even though our parents have said for years that it's what's on the inside that counts, their voices get drowned out by the thousands of voices we hear everyday from the media. Whether it be a television show or a magazine.

Over a century ago, Henry Ward Beecher got it right: "Clothes do not make the man, but once he is made, they greatly improve his appearance."
