No Fry Eggplant Layers

Image
I have been fussing with eggplant recipes forever.  I have made progress in cutting down on the greasy aspect but I still haven't found the complete answer.  In my search, I made this No Fry Eggplant Layers  I used the broiler instead of the skillet.  The recipe comes from the Bais Yaakov Cookbook, a brand new book, on the market, I believe.  It is a kosher cookbook, which for me, I can make anything, in the book, avoiding gluten, of course.   No Fry Eggplant Layers (adapted) Ingredients: Sauce: 1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes 2 cups marinara sauce 1/2 cup red wine 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon sugar Eggplant: 2 eggplants, peeled and sliced in one quarter inch pieces 2 egg beaters 1 1/2 cups ground taco chips 1/2 cup Parmesan 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning vegetable cooking spray 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese (4 cheeses mixed from Costco) Method: Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking oil.  Set aside.

Bake With Bizzy - Double Pear Bread

Image
This is the season of baking, cookies, cakes, pies and casseroles and vegetables and more, more more.  Let's see what we all have to share this week.  I am sharing a Double Pear Tea Bread.  I made this gluten-free. I had wanted to use recipes from The American Test Kitchen but for some reason, get called away and end up with something else.  Last nigh, I took out the book and placed it on my counter and decided, I was not going to do anything else, until I baked from it.  I have found all the recipes, in this book, are excellent and this was no exception.  Originally, this was a lemon tea bread with no fillers.  I had some pear juice and some dried pears so it changed its identity and had some cut up pears and walnuts added to the batter. Double Pear Tea Bread  adapted from The American Test Kitchen Family Baking Book. Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups gluten-free flour mixture (brown rice) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup canola oil 1 1/3 cup sugar 3 eggs 1
