TGIF

It's been a crazy busy month!! So busy infact, that my bosslady let me leave 2 hours early today because she said I "deserve" it for all the work I did this month....isn't that lovely?! I got to get home in time for Diego to not have to drop off the babe to his mom's house before going to work for the evening. Also lovely! AND I was home early enough to have a baby in a good mood who I took to Cottontails to get him some adorable clothes and sandals for this upcoming summer, all at wonderful prices. Lovely yet again!

Time is flying...I'm already thinking about Isaac's first birthday party! It's gonna be here before I know it!

God is being good to us, as always.

I made some homemade baba ghanoush last night. Sooooooo delicious! I suggest trying it. It's healthy, and it's super-expensive in Wegman's so it's also more economical to make your own.

Here's a recipe:

1 eggplant
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil



DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Place eggplant on baking sheet, and make holes in the skin with a fork. Roast it for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, or until soft. Remove from oven, and place into a large bowl of cold water. Remove from water, and peel skin off.
Place eggplant, lemon juice, tahini, sesame seeds, and garlic in an electric blender, and puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer eggplant mixture to a medium size mixing bowl, and slowly mix in olive oil. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.

Enjoy!
