Random Recipes...

This weekend has been pretty low key. Norah had a horrible cough all night Friday night but Saturday night it was better. I did try some new recipes that turned out great and thought I would share as it was easy and yummy!

First one, Saturday night I took a bag of Trader Joes frozen Marinated Grilled Eggplant and Zucchini, a jar of Trader Joes Puttanesca Sauce, and some mozzarella cheese.
Directions:


  • Preheat oven 400 degrees

  • Spray 9x13 with cooking spray

  • Lay frozen eggplant and zucchini in 9x13

  • Pour entire jar of Puttanesca sauce over it

  • Bake for 30 minutes

  • Take out of oven and sprinkle about half of mozzarella bag (I used Trader Joes brand)

  • Bake another 7 minutes

We served over whole wheat pasta and had a side of fruit...we all loved it! (you could always add chicken or something on the side it you wanted some meat)


Next up...Sunday...Jeff thawed out some quail he had and cut it into pieces. Wrapped pieces around a piece of cream cheese and slice of jalapeno and then wrapped the whole thing in bacon...secured with tooth pick. Then he grilled it up...so yummy!! It was just bit size peices and it was delicious!


Then I bought a frozen bag of sliced okra. I sprayed a baking sheet with cooking spray and layed out the okra...cooked at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. Then tossed around and baked for another 12-20 minutes. Then tossed in a little salt....Jeff and I ate all of it! It was so good!


Now we are watching the movie "The Tourist" and chilling out. The dogs seemed not interested as they are relaxing on the couch!!!Well another week starts tomorrow and it is busy as always! :)
