• to I WAS eating so healthy…not so much this week. But that’s OK, it’s not a permanent setback. I’m gearing up to go through the first cycle again which means no more sugar, and frankly, that will be a relief.

• No worries, Veronica. The commenting issue was totally this user’s error (and WordPress antics) but it was mostly my forgetfulness!
• I love hummus but don’t think I have ever tried Baba Ghanoush. Will remedy that soon. Love your nails. I got my first pedi for the season yesterday and I almost asked for nail art. Maybe I will go get some decals instead.

Preparation

Step 1

Amish Friendship Bread Variations

I made the first batch and ate it within a week, then made a tahini-free batch the following week (I ran out of tahini, plus, leaving it out made the recipe 17 Day Diet-friendly).  I actually liked the tahini-free version better, but that is more likely due to me roasting the eggplant longer (the first batch was a little undercooked) than the lack of tahini.  I definitely recommend roasting your eggplants thoroughly (like Jenna says, when you think they’re done roasting, roast them a little more), because it makes a great difference in taste.

Prick each eggplant with a fork until the surface is covered with holes. Place the eggplants under a broiler (or on a grill) and cook for about 40 minutes, until blackened and slightly shrunken, turning occasionally. When they’re very tender, let them cool.

When cool enough to handle, scoop the eggplant flesh into a the bowl of a food processor with a spoon, discarding the skins. Add the lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and cumin. Process until desired texture, then add the parsley and pulse to combine. Serve with chips, pita bread, a baguette, crackers, etc.

oh my woman… you are a mind reader. I had this baba ganoush thing printed in my heart and ready to come out :) meaning I am really looking forward to make my own (restaurant or store-bought are horribly oily and of bad quality oil). just roasted some aubergines yesterday and remembered how much I like them and how I should use them more in the kitchen. this is definitely a healthier spread to eat from the jar than my usual… nutella. will go for it. nice nails!

So glad you liked it! Looking at your pics is making me want to make it again.

Thanks for the comment feedback. I know, it just makes me happy to look down and see pretty colors on my nails. The simple things. :)
