Eggplant-Ziti Parmesan
I come from a big Italian family, my mom made this all the time. Very delicious and very hardy. A great anytime meal. The secret to good eggplant is to peel and drain it, so it's not soggy. Serve with crusty italian bread, and a tossed salad, and you have a hearty meal. It seems like a lot of work but it's not. I hope you enjoy your meal.
Meatball Casserole
When you have meatballs in the freezer to use up, this is a great go-to meal. I created it to feed two comfortably, and it can easily be doubled to feed a crowd.
Chaffles with Almond Flour
This chaffle recipe uses almond flour to create a more traditional waffle texture and help get rid of any eggy taste. These cheesy waffles are an overnight sensation in the low-carb/keto world. Seriously, try them, they're delicious! I use an inexpensive mini waffle maker (such as Dash Mini Maker Waffle) which produces perfect 4-inch chaffles. So many ways to use chaffles, the sky's the limit!
