Sooooo I came home from work to see that my Grandma dropped off beautiful BEAUTIFUL home grown fresh veggies from a neighbor of hers (I think?) regardless they are home grown in a backyard and that makes me super happy.. 
Yes so so pretty.. Well I was starved and I love to make healthy dinners and especially fresh!! I have a lot of people ask me for recipes and ideas etc so I figured let me just start a blog so it’s just easier for everyone!!
I started with ground beef, I would usually use ground turkey but I did not have any left so I went with it.. I believe it was 80/20 so I had to drain the oil after cooking the meat. I added chopped onion, salt, pepper, one fresh chili with the seeds scraped out, I wasn’t the only one eating this dish so not everyone can handle spicy spicy like myself :). For added flavor I splashed a good 1/4th cup of red wine and let it simmer. Next! Added two fresh chopped tomatoes. Butttt Just take a second to look at these beauties ..
As this was cooking, in my hot cast iron skillet I added coconut oil and olive oil and seared my sliced eggplant on each side and than transferred to a plate. You can season your eggplant with whatever you like I chose salt pepper & chili powder.
Oven was preheated to 350 and after the eggplant was seared I started layering!
Eggplant, meat sauce, more fresh chopped tomatoes, fresh onion, fresh mushrooms and of course garlic! Layer as you like, you can add whatever veggies you please!
Andddd last before the oven I sprinkled non fat mozzarella on top and baked for 30 minutes. Rest for 10 and serve! DELICIOUS
I sprinkled fresh parsley and man oh man it was tasty, fresh and healthy! #cleaneating
