Grilled Eggplant with Balsamic Vinegar Relish
Grilled eggplant topped with a fresh tomato, oregano, and balsamic relish. Can be served as a side dish to meat or fish, or as an appetizer with some crusty grilled bread! Serve warm or cold, but my preference is to serve it at room temperature.
Blackened Chicken Strips
Ready in under 20 minutes, this is the perfect dinner to make when in a hurry. Spiced up by the addition of cayenne pepper but cooled down thanks to the dry ranch dressing.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer Cake
I made this cookie cake for my brother's birthday, since he's not a fan of traditional cake, but loves chocolate chip cookies. It was an instant hit! Ever since, he's requested it for every birthday. If you love chocolate chip cookies, you have to try this. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
