…now that sure looks good.
Ooh, this looks so good but sadly my husband is not a great fan of eggplant/aubergine 🙁 I love it! #MMBC
That looks really yummy and easy to make
I guess that’s what you might call “simple and delicious.” Quickly made too. Even I could do that one.
My mouth is watering. Always on the look out for a recipe that will get my family eating egg plants. Growing my own this year too. Thanks for sharing. #mmbc
I was thinking to myself that I don’t think I’ve ever eaten Eggplant but then I realised we call it an Aubergine over here. lol This sounds so good x
Hello Carol! Happy Monday!
I love eggplant and I keep waiting for the price to go down here as it comes in season. Grilling it adds such a wonderful flavor
I don’t ever buy egg plant as I don’t really know what to do with it but this looks like a really easy recipe and sounds yummy 🙂

This looks so good. I don’t cook eggplant but we are all looking for something new to add to our table right about now. Great recipe.
