Those recipes all sound delicious. I love shrimp and have a lot of them in my freezer at the moment, so I might just have to try both of those recipes out very soon.

I have also been trying to come up with my own version of a chicken lasagne without tomatoes, since tomatoes give my stepson bad heartburn. The recipe that was just posted is far easier than what I have tried so far, and I think could easily be made without the sun dried tomatoes, and perhaps just add another vegetable instead of the tomatoes.

My wife had trouble with tomato dishes also before we married. I use a bit of brown sugar to kill the acid tart from them, but not enough to sweeten it. Now she enjoys all the tomatoey(is that a word?) dishs that I make and she makes many of her own now. Justa thought.

Try sauteed eggplant with a sprinkling of finely chopped, lightly sauteed red bell pepper in between layers.

Before sauteing the eggplant, salt them heavily and spread on paper towels. The salt removes bitterness and excess moisture. wipe them off with a damp towel before sauteing.

The combination offers a great flavor in addition to a pleasing color combination.

“add another vegetable instead of the tomatoes.” Are you thinking broccoli, asparagus?
