Last night I had a wow moment with an eggplant. I used a Bobby Flay recipe and it was fabulous! Am posting the recipe. We had ribeye to go with the eggplant and I doctored up bottled steak sauce to make a Spanish steak sauce that was a hit as well. To prep for a busy week, I went ahead and made Tuesday's spaghetti sauce and turkey meatballs. We are going to a Super Bowl party and also premade buffalo chicken meatballs (a lower fat, less messy version of wings). Made the stock for Wednesday's tortilla soup. I also brined the chicken for the Indian spiced chicken. Today, I will finish the tortilla soup and make the side sauce for Monday's chicken. The pork for the lettuce wraps is already made and in the freezer. Pork shoulder makes enough to feed an army, I freeze the extra into portions that will feed us for one meal. Then there is no waste and it makes for an easy weeknight meal.
