Party With Mr. Egglplant

by Nicci on 09/30/2009

Ooops, I’m on a pasta kick.  Two nights in a row, but in moderation/portion control.

I’ve always loved the deep purple color of the eggplant.

Breaded Eggplant w/ Spaghetti

  • 1 eggplant
  • 3/4 c. fine Italian bread crumbs

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cut eggplant in 1/2 inch thick slices; set aside in pan.  Line pan with fresh cilantro. Combine bread crumbs and spices. Dip eggplant in egg, then in bread crumbs. Remove excess and pat slices firmly so they are evenly coated. Layer Parmesan cheese on top of eggplant. Bake at 350 @45 minutes. (If you like  you can add marinara sauce & more cheese).

Spaghetti

  • Spaghetti
  • Fire roasted sweet red pepper sauce (I think we all know how to make spaghetti)

This sauce was really sweet too, loved it.

Nine Tidbits and Oats

by Nicci on 09/17/2009

Good Morning,

I felt like sharing more about myself with my lovely readers this morning.

  1. My first name is ”Nicole” but you can call me ”Nicci”.
  2. I Love Dollar Stores,  ”Dollar Diva” is another nickname I’m been crowned with.
  3. Sight of bare feet makes me cringe.
  4. I Love staying up and watching British comedies,  ”Coupling”  is my favorite show.
  5. I was a vegetarian for 2 years, many many years ago. I’m not that old people but it seems like Forever.
  6. I collect anything Sailor Moon…remember that cartoon, it rocked!
  7. Breaking out in song, when bored is normal for me. I often don’t realize it, till I get strange looks.
  8. I count things till I have an odd number,  I like odds
  9. The sound of Styrofoam makes me cringe.

What’s one thing people don’t know about you? ;-)

I started my lovely Thursday with a surprise.  Chris forgot to mention I had mail.

 I ripped open a package to find this below.

Kristina at Stoneyfield sent me coupons and a reusable bag. This came just in time for my Thursday grocery shopping. I had just finished off my last container of Oikos.

Thank you Kristina ;-)

I ate a quick messy bowl of oats & dashed out into the rain for work. It’s been raining since Saturday…”Please go away rain”.
