The backstory.

I'll admit it - eggplant wasn't always at the top of my grocery list. But once I learned how much of a flavor sponge it is and started experimenting with different cooking methods, I was hooked. Now it's one of my favorite vegetables to cook with because it can become everything from a hearty main dish to a simple side, depending on what I'm craving.

In an effort to make positive changes in my life (and hopefully yours, too), I created this website where I could share great-tasting, craveable, healthy recipes.
