The Weekend Dish: 1/27/2018
Is it really the last weekend in January? I feel like we just took down Christmas decorations, and now weโre knocking on the door of the Super Bowl and Valentineโs Day (and Mardi Gras!). Crazy!
Youโll be thrilled to know that Iโm fiiiiiiiinally making my father-in-lawโs famous eggplant Parmesan for dinner tomorrow, so I can take tons of notes and share it with you in the near future. So many of you have been asking for the recipe for ages, and Iโm excited to finally be tackling it myself. Itโs seriously the BEST eggplant parm!
As always, you'll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week, the most shared recipes, my Sunday dinner menu, and recipes I've bookmarked from other blogs. Enjoy!

Recipes and posts from other blogs that I thought looked especially delicious and that I thought you would like, too:
During my last round of blood work with my glucose test, it showed that Iโm still anemic, even though Iโve been taking an iron supplement since my 1st trimester. My doctor wants me to up my nutritional iron intake, so I made a pot of this lentil soup since lentils are very high in iron, and itโs DELICIOUS!
These smoked ribs with honey butter brown sugar make me want to run out and buy a smoker!
Easy pound cake tiramisu would be a perfect last-minute recipe to impress company.
Adding Korean beef bulgogi to my list of must-make dinners!
Slow cooker chipotle bbq meatballs are going on my Super Bowl menu!
Have a delicious weekend!
Wow, looks tasty. Thank you. I always bake a lot like cookies and cakes with my baking companion Non-Stick Baking Mat that I bought on Amazon every time I do baking, and it helps me a lot. https://goo.gl/1Qk52j
If you are taking ferrous sulfate, it doesnt absorb as well as ferrous gluconate, which doesnโt absorb as well as heme iron. Point is, there are irons that absorb better than others & donโt cause as much stomach upset. Good luck getting your iron up!
Can.not.wait. for the eggplant parmigiana to come soon! ย The last few summers Iโve been growing eggplants in my garden specifically for eggplant parm. ย Iโve made you FILโs sauce and his meatballs, both recipes being fantastic. ย ย Sometimes I think the key is in the seasonings and which cheese is used, like parmesan or romano, or a combination of the two for eggplant parmesan ย . . . . but there are definitely some recipes that are better than others. ย Canโt wait for his eggplant parm recipe to give it try.
Have a great weekend. ย Are you going to catch the Pro Bowl tomorrow? ย Heavy Pittsburgh presence will definitely make me tune in.
So happy youโre making Eggplant Parmesan! ย
Iโve collected more recipes for lentil soup than anything else. ย I finally made a basic soup recipe with variations. ย One thing I havenโt done is blend part of the soup. ย I sometimes add a 5-6 ounce bag of baby spinach to the soup, which I coarsely chop. ย I definitely agree with adding lemon to the soup, though sometimes I add cider or red wine vinegar. ย
