I don't mind cooking as long as it's meat (preferably beef) and taters. :-)
How are feeling since last Tuesday? :0)I feel pretty gloat myself. You ??
I very nearly burned the apartment complex down yesterday - tried a new recipe and *goofed* on the length of time and temperature to cook. Came out to the kitchen and saw smoke pouring out of the oven - thank goodness the smoke alarm didn't go off! At one point we had all of the windows and the front door opened - sheesh.
Anyway, I wanted to share the offending recipe with you, with a promise that the time and temperature I am writing down are *correct.* I plan on making this again today.
For all of you that love eggplant parmesean, but hate the time spent and mess made frying each piece, I have eaten this recipe and it is pretty darned good:
Fry-less Eggplant Parmesean
1 medium-large eggplant, sliced into round slices, thicker than used for the old-fashioned recipe (about 1/4 - 1/3 inch thick)
1 box Italian-style shake 'n bake
1 package shredded mozarella cheese (low-fat)
Your favorite Italian tomato sauce
Dip each slice of eggplant into water, then shake (following directions) into the shake 'n bake mixture, one slice at a time. Repeat for all of the pieces of eggplant.
On a cookie sheet sprayed with a non-stick spray, arrange each coated slice of eggplant in a single layer.
Bake eggplant at 400-425 degrees for 20-30 minutes, checking frequently so that it doesn't burn.
When eggplant is browned and tender, add tomato sauce to each slice and top with mozzarella cheese (and grated romano cheese, if desired)
Put back into oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and just starts to brown.
Oh yes, and my mistake? I could have sworn my mother told me to bake for 60 minutes at 450 degrees.....YIKES!
Enjoy! Off to buy more eggplant and shake 'n bake......
Give me CHICKEN! :)
Just "gloat" riffic! ;O)
Sound like what I do on occassions when I try to cook, unfortuneatly I have a sensative smoke alarm and it gors off every time I try to cook anything in my oven. so I keep the fan on the the windows open, which can be a bit of a downer in the winter.
:^D
Looks familiar.
Probably what's going on with my sinuses today.
Vets Puzzled by Hat in the Cat
I can imagine that would be a bit of a bummer ((((((Pipster))))))
;-)
LOL!
I'm glad you're feeling great!
The recipe sounds yummy! I have problems when I cook bacon. I can't really tell when it's done, so I always let it go too long and it ends up black and the smoke alarm goes off (which is bad because I'm in an apartment, too). Otherwise, I can cook pretty much anything - just as long as it doesn't involve frying bacon!
I hear ya - LOL!
I learned my lesson - will *never* put anything in the oven at that high of a temp and walk away, believing what I've been told about how long to bake it.
It still smell pretty badly in here - I'm going to go around with the Febreeze here in just a little bit.
((((tuliptree76)))))
Last time I cooked bacon (which was about a month ago), it took 3 days before the smell was finally gone! LOL!
((((dansangel)))) back at ya!
Hi PGalt.
It's nice to see you today.
With the pre-election and post election threads, it seems all other threads were kind of in limbo. Thank God, the American people did not fall for the MSM's lies.
Hope you are having a marvelous Monday.
My prayers are with the families of all of our Military.
I've been thinking about FriendAnn's great-nephew. His wife heard from him 3 or 4 days ago and he said something big was going down in a couple of days.
I'm keeping him, all the men and women in harm's way and their families in my prayers. It must be a very stressful time for them.
I'm trying to be good today. I let work pile up last week so I'm going to whittle on it a little today.
(How's that for poety!)
; )
Miss you guys!
PAL! I missed ya too. Glad you stopped by!
