Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This is the easiest eggplant recipe ever, and delicious. The recipe should call for a large (28 oz.) can, which was not specified. Or, I used a 14.5 can of halved tomatoes, plus a 6 oz. can of tomato paste and two cups of water, plus oregano, thyme, and basil, so that there would be plenty of liquid to reduce off while the dish cooks. I first tried this two weeks ago, and have made it three times since. A winner.
This sounds delicious! Do we place the chicken breast on the eggplant, raw? Thanks!

A new favorite. Super easy, especially for eggplant! I tried it with a layer of lasagne under eggplant and chopped garlic to tomato mix and it added good flavor and texture. I highly reccomend trying this.

This is delicious! I have never really tried eggplant but wanted it in my diet. This is a great recipe with a hint of sweetness in the eggplant!
