Eggplant Parmesan Casserole - Emily Bites Eggplant Parmesan Casserole This cheesy, saucy Eggplant Parmesan Casserole is my kind of comfort food. The sauce is fresh and tomato-y, the sour cream/cream cheese layers are creamy and tangy and indulgent, the breaded eggplant slices are tasty and “meaty” and the overall effect is warm, cheesy and delicious. It’s also one of those vegetarian meals that’s hearty enough that you’ll never miss the meat! The recipe has a few steps, but the initial baking of the eggplant slices can be done at the same time as you make the tomato sauce and mix the sour cream and cream cheese together, so I promise it doesn’t take as long as it looks.

Ingredients: Directions: Pre-heat the oven to 375.

Skinny Peruvian Beef Saltado Recipe - 6 Points Recently, I had the luxury of eating at a local Peruvian restaurant, and if you’ve never had Peruvian food, you are really missing out! The flavors are bold and fresh, and absolutely divine. I opted for the Lomo Saltado dish, which is basically a sirloin stir fry served over french fries or potato slices. It was sooooooo good! My version eliminates the potatoes, in order to save some Points Plus, and bulks up on veggies and protein. Flavorful, light, and super easy to make, this healthy Lomo Saltado Recipe is a treat for the eyes as well as the palate. Ingredients 1 lb lean sirloin, sliced into thin, wide strips1 red onion, thinly sliced1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced1 red pepper, thinly sliced1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced1 large tomato, sliced into thin wedges4 garlic cloves, minced1 tsp olive oil1 tsp cumin1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar1/3 cup cilantro, roughly choppedSalt and pepper to taste Instructions Preparation time: 15 minute(s) Calories: 256

Quick Spiralized Zucchini and Grape Tomatoes I think it was on an episode of MasterChef Junior that I heard the quote "what grows together, goes together" which makes so much sense. Zucchini, tomatoes and basil are just made for each other, you can serve as a side dish, as suggested, or even as a main dish topped with some grilled shrimp or chicken. I've been using the thicker blade on my Paderno Spiral Vegetable Slicer to make my zoodles (zucchini noodles). I like the larger noodle because it has more of bite and I'm careful not to overcook them so they don't get soggy. Under two minutes is all they need, then I quickly remove them from the hot skillet or they will keep cooking.
