One girl - one goal: to live a healthier life.

This includes eating more locally produced food; cooking culinary delights at home; and living life to it's fullest.

Healthy living does not have to be boring and tasteless...

"Cooking is like love - it should be entered into with abandon, or not at all."

Grilled eggplant pita sandwiches

We received some really yummy looking eggplant in our Farmhouse box last week.

I was thinking of all the magical things I could do with this beauty, and then I remembered this simple recipe. Just highlighting the eggplant with some basic yogurt spread sounded delicious.

I sliced open the eggplant, placed the slices in the colander, sprinkled them with salt and let them drain.


After rinsing the eggplant slices I grilled the eggplant on a grill pan sprayed with non-stick olive oil spray.


 I also grilled some red onion along with the eggplant.


The yogurt-garlic spread was really easy to make and delicious. (I took it to work the next day with the leftovers for lunch, and the yogurt-garlic spread was devoured with various vegetables and chips...anything my co-workers could find to dip in it).

I put it all together in a pita with the arugula (just as the recipe calls for).


This was pretty easy to whip together, was low-cal, healthy and good enough that I had the leftovers the next day! I think this recipe gets an A.
