NEW COOL TOOL!!!! So excited!!!!

All right ladies and gents... you know that I'm into this whole healthier food kick, and I love all of you for putting up with me while I'm on it!!  However, this one really seems like one that is going to stick.  I do admit to eating a little Taco Bell every now and then and stopping at a Burger King or Wendy's on the way to Grad School, but I've been doing pretty good!  I am worried about what is going to happen when my farmer's market goes away though, because nearly every day for lunch I bring a fresh pepper to slice up and eat, and this just in... tomatoe and mozzerella salad!!!  YUMMMMMMM!!!

You would all also be very proud of the fact that I made a lasagna and froze some of it instead of buying frozen lunches (mainly because frozen organic lunches are freaking EXPENSIVE!), and I made some fresh basil pesto and pasta which introduced me to my friend the food processor.  I'm just really excited about the food choices that I've been making.

Now, with that said, I have been purchasing things without thinking about them... which is where the lovely tomatoe mozzerella salad came from (I bought a bunch of tomatoes at the farmer's market without an idea as to what I should do with all of the tomatoes).  This week, I bought.... an eggplant.  Now when I was growing up, I remember my mom baking eggplant, I do, but I remember telling her that I hated the eggplant.  To be honest though, I don't think that I actually have ever TRIED eggplant before.  I just thought that since it was a vegetable and it was weird looking and purple, it was obviously a bad choice.  Well, I bought one Thursday at my weekly farmer's market trip.

Enter the new AWESOME tool that I just found.  You enter what you want to cook... say... eggplant... and then you click on other ingredients that you might have, or might want to use, and PRESTO!!!  I even typed in "Taco Dip" cause I have to make some for a party, and I clicked on what I have in my kitchen, and BOOYAH!!!  There is a sweet taco dip recipe.  So, I thought that I would share.  Don't be afraid now to try new foods, especially with this handy new Web2.0 tool!!!
