Happy Oct 1st.

Happy October 1st everyone! Despite the upsetting news that all tanning will have to be done indoors and we won't see the beach/pool for a long 7 months. The fall brings a few goods things: designer boots, pumpkin everrthing, Burberry scarves and more inside cooking. (Since its not so 100 degrees out and the thought of turning on the oven just sucks!) 

With all the being said tonight we  I made an awesome fall meal! Roasted Eggplant Boats with Spicy sausage and chicken.

What You'll Need
(serving size 2) 
  • 2 eggplants
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2lb ground chicken 
  • 2-3 spicy sausage link (take the casing off) 
  • 3/4 cup tomato sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley 
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese sliced

What To Do: 
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, cut the eggplant in half and season both sides with EVOO, salt and pepper then place in the oven cut side down. 
2. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. 
3. In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle EVOO. Add spicy sausage and ground chicken. (Make sure to break this up as you go). 
4. Cook until the chicken and sausage are browned
5. Add in tomato sauce, balsamic and season with salt and pepper. Then add in parsley. 
6. At this point all you have to do is assemble -- take the eggplant out of the oven flip them over and top with meat sauce. Stuff the meat into the middle of the eggplant. Layer on the slices of cheese and put it back in the oven for 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling. 


7. ENJOY!
