Tofu Tuesday is the place to share all of your vegetarian secrets. If you have a great recipe to share, a product to rave or rant about, or anything that has made being a vegetarian easier for you please share it. (And vegans, please jump in too!!) Feel free to grab the little button over there to the right. After you post come back here and link up down there with Mr. Linky. Make sure to link to your Tofu Tuesday post and not to your main blog address. I'm looking forward to reading all your posts!

A simple substitution this week.

Eggplant for veal or chicken.

Eggplant has always been one of those foods that I've been scared of. I mean it's purple, it doesn't look easy to prepare. It's a vegetable. *L* It's just scared me.

But one thing that I have enjoyed has been veal parm or chicken parm. Yeah, that won't fly. So on a Thursday dinner swap we were introduced to eggplant parm.

Holy cow! YUM!

Now I had prepared out of the freezer section eggplant, not the real fresh stuff so I can't speak for all of it. AND I ordered an eggplant parm sub shortly after my first delicious eggplant experience and that was gag-alicious, but the stuff from this box is GREAT.

Breaded Eggplant Cutlets Italian-Style from Michael Angelo's You can get them at Sam's in the freezer section. It's a huge box, but I'm alright with that. I think I may make some with our Cheese Tortellini that we're are having for dinner this evening. Yum!

***There seems to be a Mr. Linky issue today. If you're participating just post in the comments for the time being. If it is working later today we can link up then. Not sure what the problem is.

we had our first veggie monday this week spinach/mushroom/cheese manicotti. it was beyone yum.

unfortunately i never post recipes because i never measure and i hardly ever make something the same way twice.

i have decided i like eggplant in chunks but not in slices.
