I salted the eggplant and dusted it off. Why rinse it with water when the salt is removing the excess water from the vegetable itself? Just resist adding more salt to your sauce. I always leave the skin on since it contains an "anthocyanin phytonutrient, called nasunin. Nasunin is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger that has been shown to protect cell membranes from damage". Choose younger, tender eggplants for thinner skin. Also, look for an oval dimple on the bottom (versus round) this type of eggplant has less seeds--or so I've been told.

Day Before Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2007

I've made these for the past 5 Christmas dinners. I put the mixture the night before into the slow-cooker pot. Cooking the mashers in the slow cooker keeps them moist and doesn't dry them like the oven.

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2007

I made this dish for several Christmas dinners. This year I didn't, a few people were upset. It appeals to even non-brussel sprout eaters.

Easy and tasty! Be sure to have the Tabasco nearby, the dish does need a little extra flavor.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Marble Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2007

I didn't think that the batter tasted like PB at all. I sprinkled PB chips over the top, that made the cake!

Lemon-Caper Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 29, 2007

It smelled fantastic. Chicken was very juicy, but just a nice alternative to plain ole chicken. Good to try once, wouldn't bother again.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake III

Reviewed: Dec. 4, 2003

If you prefer box cake mixes to an actual homemade cake, then you'll like this recipe. I was very disappointed and decided not to serve it to guests but saved it for the family during the week.
