Fried Eggplant Parmesan
My dad made me eggplant parm one night and I thought, Hmm, I wonder if this would be good as a fried dish. Take this as a State Fair-style spin on a classically iconic Italian staple. This dish is quick and easy, and something anyone can do. You may think teens are lazy, but they'll come to life making this dish.
Mississippi Beef Short Ribs
This Mississippi short ribs recipe is a version of Mississippi pot roast. To explain: the internet recently went wild for a delicious Mississippi pot roast in which beef is braised in a slow cooker with butter, pepperoncini, and packets of powdered au jus gravy and ranch dressing. Assuming that MSG from the latter two ingredients led to all the rage, I decided to mimic the flavors using seasonings I made from scratch and boneless short ribs. It came out well, especially when served over mashed potatoes with a garnish of parsley.
