On a Break

So I'm on break from Grad School.  My program is a cohort program and you do 4 weeks on 1 week off.  We just finished Semester numero tres, for those of you who are counting!

Just to recap ...  The closing FINALLY went through ... it was a short sale so the process was rather daunting but we made it through.  We also survived the move! :P It was touch and go there for a minute! hehe

I am finally feeling like I've caught my breathe again after holding it in for six months. 

Just wanted to share what I was cooking ... and what I am cooking tonight!

EGGPLANT AND GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE

4 med. sized eggplants, sliced 1 lg. onion, coarsely chopped butter 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef 2/3 c. tomato paste 2 c. water 1 tsp. salt Black pepper to taste Saute chopped onion in butter until golden. Add ground beef and cook, stirring constantly, until it is crumbled and browned. Combine tomato paste with water, add salt and pepper and pour mixture over meat. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove mixture from heat. Saute eggplant slices in butter until slightly soft. Place a layer of eggplant in the bottom of a well buttered casserole. Using a slotted spoon, add a layer of drained beef, another layer of eggplant, then beef and so on until all the beef and eggplant have been used. Pour the remaining sauce over the casserole and bake, uncovered in a 350 degree oven until eggplant is tender. Serves 4.

I'll keep you posted how it comes out! :)


Have a great day!
