Healthy eggplant parmigiana


This is sooooo yummy and healthy! next time you are in the mood for something light yet tasty try this.
Ingredients:
1 large eggplant
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (i like seasoned)
1 egg
1/4 cup skim milk
1 tbsp olive oil

combine cheese and crumbs in a shallow bowl and set to the side, in a different bowl do the same with the egg and milk and whisk together. Cut the eggplant in thin slices,about 1/4 of an inch. With the olive oil, lightly coat a cookie sheet,or even better line it with parchment paper.
dip each eggplant slice in the egg mixture and then in the cheese mixture (coat both sides) then place on the baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or till crisp and golden brown. Next use your favorite tomato sauce ( i will post my recipe later) and place about 1/4 of a cup of the sauce on the bottom of a baking dish or casserole dish. Place one layer of eggplant on the bottom and top with sauce, then add another layer of eggplant and top with sauce and parmesan cheese or mozzarella. bake it for another 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and delicious! enjoy!!!

Lush-ious!


I went to lush a few weeks ago and i have been meaning to report on my finds! I bought Herbalism ( a cleanser for oily skin) a tea tree oil toner, and cosmetic warrior face mask.
I wasnt impressed with herbalism, i didnt feel like it really cleaned my face, and i felt like it left a residue. The toner tab was great! i would buy more for sure, and the mask was good and deep cleasing! one of the surprise ingredients in the mask is garlic!( since its all natural the mask has to be refrigerated)
overall, i will for sure go back to lush and find a cleanser that i really like, for now my mask and toner made up for the cleanser. Any suggestions on a good lush cleanser?

I woke up this morning in the mood for a yummy breakfast! Since im trying to watch what i eat these days ( wayyyyy harder during the Holidays) i decided to make something from one of my favorite recipe books. Cook yourself thin, is a cookbook derived from a show that was on lifetime a few months ago. The recipes are healthy but full of yummy flavor!
i made a bacon and turkey sausage frittatta! yum yum yum! The recipe calls for asparagus, but since i was out i added bell pepper instead. Any veggies that you like will be perfect and each portion is under 300 calories! try it and tell me what you think :)
