What's for Dinner, Mon., Aug. 28, 2023

Posting early due to work.

Layered eggplant slices: breaded eggplant (panko), then a layer of mozzarella, ground sausage; next up is sundried tomato-olive pesto, then chopped tomatoes cooked in the same pan. Chiffonade of basil and grated parmesan over the top.

Tossed green salad with a variety of greens and balsamic dressing.

No-sugar coke to drink.

Dessert: somethin'. Just don't know what yet. Might pick up something on the way home from work.

My wife tried out this recipe and let me tell you it's really good. Great way to eat an overabundant squash harvest.

My container-grown tomatoes have mostly been billiard ball size or a little smaller, but they were perfect in this.

Best part was, our weeknight chef (son) made it, so I could come home from work and just enjoy it!

OMD, must have been awesome.

I do believe you were the C & B poster who once opined that you could just have goat cheese as your protein for the rest of your life. That was you?--did I remember correctly?

Who found the recipe? You or your son?

I'm still the weekly menu maker, but he does look at cooking magazines and provides input.

I do love goat cheese, but my "desert island food" would probably be potatoes.

with polenta. The stew is heavy on the carrot/onion/celery/tomato mixture.
