I am so excited! Summer is here, summer is here! I am whispering that, as I do the happy dance, just in case (it's not officially summer and this is Canada), I don't want to jinx this gorgeous weather we are having. I have had the BBQ out all winter but there's something said for grilling without snow up to your knees as you are flipping steaks out on the deck. Regardless of the weather, steak is fantastic grilled on the barbecue, if it's done right. So, pour a …
Easy Baked Eggplant Parmesan
We are going to talk about eggplant today! Guys, have you ever eaten eggplant? I think it's the kind of food you either hate it or love it.

I'm not sure how it happened, or even when it happened exactly, but our daughter's activities have suddenly taken over our life. I've been relegated to Tuesday night wine drinking with a friend because the weekends are now too busy, as is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. You know what I speak of right?
