phew!

Sorry it's been so long since I updated this!

It's been a really hectic month because I've been trying to look and apply for jobs as much as possible since the summer is starting to wind down.

The other night I didn't get back to the cabin until 9pm but I had a plan to make eggplant parmesan and nothing was going to stop me!

I started by salting the eggplant and laying it on pans lined with paper towel.  This pulls out the bitterness of the eggplant.  After about twenty minutes I rinsed it off, dried it, and breaded it.  Then baked it in the oven on a sheet pan until browned and crispy (flipping once).  Then, in a lasagna pan I layered the eggplant with spaghetti sauce, cheese, herbs, and some sliced cherry tomatoes and baked until bubbly! 

It was amazing! 

I took it for lunch on multiple days with a roll and made eggplant sandwiches warmed in the microwave at work.

It takes a little time to make (I think I finally ate at about 10pm....) but it's not difficult and definitely worth the wait!
