Eggplant Parmigiana :-)

I'm tired of thinking.  Stop thinking.  Start cooking.  Go.  Make.  This.  Now!

Eggplant Parmigiana (WW recipe)

I made that last night in between grading about 500 things, writing a paper, planning out the next two weeks for work, doing laundry, and watching the Superbowl.  It was fabulous.  It's baked, not fried, so that cuts down on some of the calories.  Just yum! 

 Aren't eggplants supposed to be purple?  This is the first time I've ever really paid close attention to a real live eggplant... but I could have sworn they were supposed to be purple.  These were more black than anything else.  Am I wrong?

Lovely husband took a picture of me dipping the spongy eggplant slices into the egg and bread crumb mixture.  I must have looked like I was having fun or something.  ;-)



Before Sauce and Cheese



After Sauce and Cheese

You could eat it just like this, but I made a pot of whole wheat spaghetti noodles and put the eggplant on top.  I feel like if you're going to cook some saucy cheesy goodness, there needs to be a little pasta underneath.  Maybe that's just my Italian side coming out.  Mmmm...
