It has been a long time since we have had eggplant. This sounds really good. Wonder if the hubby would eat this instead of lasagna.
I would love for you to stop by and share on my weekly recipe linky, Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen.

Have a great weekend.

This looks really good. We love eggplant here. Just getting ready to put my eggplant plants in the garden. I will save this recipe for when we pick them in the summertime. :-) Thanks for linking up with "Try a New Recipe Tuesday." Hope you can join us again this week. http://our4kiddos.blogspot.com/2014/05/try-new-recipe-tuesday-may-27.html
