its official!

We've officially become the fryers in the family! We've been frying up chicken, cheese, hush puppies and corn dogs all to the rest of the families delite! I use to love fried foods, now... not so much. We did about 75 cheese sticks on Sunday and froze about 25 for later frying. My waistline can't take much more...

:)

Its been a few months.... feels like years but anyway... I just had to talk about what I'm cooking this weekend.

We did a fish fry a few weeks ago and it got me thinking... how do you fry mozzarella??? So I checked a few sites and tried my hand at it.... What do you think?

This is all that made it to the plate for pictures, the kids snagged them all before I could even plate them!

But that was last night.... Tonight it's ratatouille. Basic recipe with Herbs de Provence.

Can't get a good picture at the moment, still cooking. I'm planning on serving this over a baked potato. I know not the traditional way but then... I'm not traditional. So on to the recipe....

eggplant

zucchini

yellow squash

cherry tomatoes

olive oil

Herbs de Provence

salt and pepper

Cut everything to bite size pieces and place in mixing bowl.

Add olive oil (I didn't measure just went twice around the bowl)

Add all the seasonings (again, no measuring, just till it looked good)

Toss all until everything is well coated

Spread out onto a cookie sheet in a single layer

Bake/roast uncovered at 400 for about 40 minutes, stirring once

No for me, I'm planning on making baked potatoes for dinner for the kids, so I'll be having this on to of my potato in place of my normal toppings.

I'll let you know how it tastes!
