Hi

I love to have a snadwich for lunch, too. I use either the lower calories higher fiber bread at 35 calories per slice OR an oat bran flax pita at 60 calories for the 6 inch size.

I make the following types of fillings:


1. sliced avocado with bacon bits and lettuce and tomato

2. hummus lettuce red onion and tomato

3. lean turkey with lettuce and light mayo

4. leftover sliced chicken breast with Lettuce & tomato

5. Tuna salad made with light mayo, celery and onions

6. peanut butter with lettuce (YUP it's good)

7. leftover turkey meatball with sauce and melted low fat motzarella

Eggplant and Spinach Lasagna

(6 votes) 10 ounces package of frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 medium eggplant, sliced thinly lengthwise
1 egg or egg white
1 cup lowfat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan (optional)
16 ounces tomato sauce
garlic, basil, pepper, italian spices

Lightly salt sliced eggplant and set aside.

In a bowl, mix spinach, ricotta, feta, egg and spices.

Spray an 8x8 (preferable glass) pan with non-stick spray. Rinse eggplant and pat dry. Lay 3 or 4 slices of eggplant in the bottom of the pan (whatever fits). Put about 1 cup of spinach mixture on top and spread out to cover eggplant. Repeat layers, ending with spinach until eggplant and spinach are used up (I think about 3 layers total does it). Pour tomato sauce over top, and let it run down sides. Sprinkle with parmesan if using it, and bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, until a knife cuts through easily, indicating that the eggplant is cooked. Let rest about 5 minutes before serving.

4 large or 6 small servings.

Eggplant Casserole Italiano (Eggplant Saltimbocca) Main Ingredients:
2 large eggplants, peeled and sliced into ¼? rounds
¾ cup milk
½ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten lightly for egg wash
1 cup Italian (seasoned) bread crumbs
1 pkg baby Spinach, fresh or frozen (No exact measurement, just throw in as much as you like)
Salt and pepper (as much as you want)
2-10 garlic cloves, sliced really thin (we'd use 10) (This goes with the sautéed spinach. See Prepare The Eggplant below)
Olive oil (You will be using this for eggplant, tomato sauce and spinach. Use as much as you need [olive oil is good for you])
½ lb. thinly sliced provolone
4~6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced (use regular ham or Canadian Bacon if no prosciutto)
Large bunch fresh basil leaves (many as you want)
Grated parmigiano-reggiano (or regular parmesan if reggiano is too dear for you)
 

Tomato Sauce Ingredients for eggplant casserole:
¼ cup olive oil (approximately)
1 onion, chopped
½ cup dry white wine (we use Chardonnay)
1 large can (28 oz.) diced Italian tomatoes
1~2 cloves garlic, minced
1~2 T Capers
½ cup chopped black olives
Salt and Pepper
2 T fresh chopped Italian Parsley

To Prepare The Tomato Sauce:
Heat olive oil over medium heat.
 

Sauté onion and garlic until it releases juices. 5 minutes.

Add wine, raise heat to med. high, and reduce for 2-3 minutes.

Add tomatoes and cook stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Should reduce and thicken into near paste.

Add capers and olives and simmer 2~3 minutes more.

Add salt, pepper, and parsley and turn off heat.

To Prepare The Eggplant:
Place the eggplant slices in the milk. Let them soak for about 20 minutes.

Arrange three plates next to a skillet heated over medium. Put the flour in the first plate, egg wash in the second, and the breadcrumbs in the third. Add about 1 T of olive oil to get started.

After taking a slice of eggplant out of the milk, dip it first in the flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs.

Repeat with remaining eggplant rounds, as you add them to the skillet. You will have to do this in batches.

At some point, heat a tablespoon or so olive oil in another pan. Sauté the 2-10 clove of sliced garlic, then add the spinach. Remove from heat as soon as the spinach wilts slightly.

To Assemble The Dish:
Place a layer of fried eggplant in 9 x 13 pan, or if you have a 17.5 x 12 non-stick lasagna pan, definitely use that.

Top with provolone, prosciutto, spinach, basil and sauce.

Add one or two more layers, however it comes out (you really can't screw this up, it is THAT good).

Top with sauce and grated parmigiano-reggiano.

Bake in a 450 degree oven for 15~20 minutes.

It helps to let it rest for 10 or 15 before serving to let the flavors marry and for it to cool off enough to cut easily.

Okay, there you have it, Eggplant Casserole Italiano, a really creative and exceptionally delicious dish. Practice once and you'll be ready to unleash Eggplant Casserole Italiano on your "unsuspecting? dinner guests. They?ll be delighted, we promise.

Serve it with an authentically made Caesar Salad and a nice Italian red such as chianti or sangiovese.

I.m making garlic stuffed roast beef...lean top round that is slit all over and garlic slivers inserted, then salt w/pepper and a thin spray of balsamic vinegar...let it sit overnight before roasting.

I set the oven for 425 degrees. When at temperature I put in the roast and after 15 minutes turn the heat down to 325...for a 3.5 to 4 pound raost it take a total of about 60 minutes and comes out crusty, garlicy and with plenty of pan drippings for au jus.

I serve it with small garlic red potatoes and asparagus or green beans and little rolls.

It is really not a fat meal if you eat about 4-6 ounces because the top round is so very lean.

OK gotta jump in here even tho' I am 57 now

All my over 18 life I have enjoyed some porn with my man and known he has enjoyed some w/o me as well. I do not mind porn if it does not take away from our relationship. What I do mind is when a man  has his release sexually with only himslef using porn and has nothing left for us together.

My first maraige for 14 years was with a man who would rather jerk off to porn.

My second maraige of over 25 years is with a man who does share his sexuality with me, THANK GOD!

I don't like much on TV...I do watch CSI and Law & Order, a couple Food Network Shows,  & late night TV when I cannot sleep...

Most shows are for the 999% tile- of folks with no brains.

Sorry but that's how I feel about TV.

Is there something about Fridays at 3 PM that brings out the crazies? You betcha!

I have company this week end- baked a homemade triple layer devils food cake with buttercream frosting. Then decided what the heck- and made chocolate chip cookies as big as grapefruits, too.
