I really was not thinking this Eggplant Rollup recipe from Rachel Ray would go over too well. I made tortellini on the side (the thing I know they like), but even Liam is not a huge fan of tortellini. If you have not guessed by now, Liam is a meat eater & not a big fan of pasta. My expectations were very low.
This recipe is tasty, but that's a given. Its fried and has ricotta cheese and as a twist, also a little pesto. While it was not difficult and really did only take about 30 minutes to prepare (then 15 min in the oven), its messy and has a lot of bowls, pans, etc to clean up. I think I will experiment with this one with baking instead of frying the eggplant. Of course, it will loose some of the yum factor, but if I can get liam to love it that way, then I'd probably make this a regular meal.

Sofia: Thumbs up. She loved it so much that she did not bother with the tortellini.
Jack: He ate it, but was not as enthusiastic as the other 2. He did eat a very big lunch today.
Liam: we hit the jackpot. Liam did not even touch the tortellini, but dug right into the eggplant. After he finished his first serving, he looked up and said "I want some more meat." I did not have the heart to tell him it was not meat. If he thinks its meat, great. He ate 4 of them!
This past Christmas Santa gave Sofia a fisher price digital camera. Its pretty cool and lately the kids have all been enjoying taking pictures with it. Below are some of their recent pics.
