Stuffed Eggplant Parmesan Rolls
Had this for the first time at a take-out pizza and pasta place in southern California. We all loved it so much that we came up with our own version that is just as good as the take-out one. This has become an all-time favorite in our house. Serve with your favorite tomato sauce, cream sauce, or other topping sauce. We serve this over spaghetti noodles, then top with favorite sauce sprinkled with cheese. Or just eat as they are straight from the oven.
Easy Zucchini Mushroom Skillet
Try this easy zucchini mushroom skillet, full of colorful and tasty vegetables, and far from the same old side dish. Yellow bell pepper is beautiful with the zucchini in the dish, but red or orange bell peppers will do just as nicely. The mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning add lots of flavor. Chops or chicken work well with this side, and with all the vegetables, either a simple green salad or a Caesar salad will be delicious.
Danish Peppernut Christmas Cookies (Pebernodder)
These are deliciously tiny, somewhat time consuming to make (but totally worth it), eaten-by-the-handful Danish shortbread cookies. This recipe was given to me by a local grandmother at the annual Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Oregon. Stored in an airtight container, they'll last close to two weeks.
