Hi all! Happy Monday! I hope the weekend treated you very nicely. It did over here. I got to take a nice break from doing some work and work on house things. We are really starting to get the front together, it’s about halfway done. Basically I’ve done nothing and Danny and my mom, step-dad and sister have done everything. Big family efforts…like everything else over here. My mom has really good landscaping vision…I’m still finding mine.
I’m really good at going to Home Depot though and getting what she tells me. And making food for everyone to eat to say thank you. I’m REALLY good at that.
Enter….eggplant dip.
Ingredients Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel eggplant and dice into about 1 inch cubes. Do the same with the pepper. Toss with olive oil, garlic, sea salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 40 minutes, flipping halfway. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Throw eggplant and peppers in food processor along with tomato paste (or diced tomatoes). Pulse 4-5 times. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy with crackers, chips or spread on a good Italian bread!
This is not going to last long. I’ve made it twice this weekend and it was GONE both times!
Okay I’m off to get lotsa work done! Working out is first on the agenda. Have a great day!
What was the best part of your weekend?
