Eggplant Parmesan with Fresh Basil and Smoked Mozzarella
This eggplant Parmesan recipe with fresh basil and smoked mozzarella exudes a heavenly, salty, slightly sweet combination of rich tomato-y marinara, crispy creamy fried eggplant, and smoked mozzarella. I'd call this dish transcendent.
Tor-Tunas
A super fun and easy way to serve the usual tuna fish. Just wrap in a tortilla! My kids have been loving these for years, as I did when I was a kid. Awesome for lunch boxes, just wrap in plastic wrap or foil. The kids love calling them 'Tor-tunas'!
