Ooooh boy, Nigella Lawson stepped in it recently didn't she? I mean, how dare she suggest that you use cream in Carbonara?! The food police had a field day and not in a good way. The internet is crazy people, flat out crazy. Not that I'm anywhere near Nigella's celebrity, but I have to tell you this Easy Eggplant Parmigiana Recipe I'm about to share goes a little rogue. Purists beware. Before I get to the real controversial stuff though, here's why I love this Easy Eggplant …
Cheesy Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes
After I made my very first Thanksgiving dinner many years ago, I developed a whole new respect for my Mom. She just always made Thanksgiving seem so effortless.

Spicy Chicken Puff Recipe
This tasty treat came about one day after I rummaged through the fridge and found leftover chicken, some puff pastry, and a block of cream cheese.
