Recipe: Baked Apple Streusel Pancake Bars

Have you ever mixed up a batch of pancake batter, (because they sounded so amazing 15 minutes earlier when you were in bed), only to find yourself in front of the stove, spatula in hand, thinking "I really don't have the patience for this?" For us, that scenario was this morning — so we turned to an idea from last year to help us out... While we were standing in front of the stove while our pan was heating up, it dawned on us... we just didn't want to go through all the waiting and flipping and there were more important things to do before our day started — like a shower.

My favorite thing to eat, hands down, is noodles. Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai... whatever way you make it, I like it. But mac and cheese is high up there on the list, especially baked mac and cheese.
Did you know that eggplant is a berry?!? I love learning little food facts like that. Eggplant can be a little bit tricky sometimes. It can be epically delicious when it’s done right, but what else can you do besides the typical eggplant parmesan where you fry it up and pile on lots of cheese and sauce? How about grill it and roll it up with a creamy ricotta basil filling? It’s a little healthier and you don’t miss out on any flavor.
