    I am so happy I came across your channel 💕 I have tried two of your recipes so far and will be making more. Absolutely delicious. You deserve so much more recognition on your channel!

    That Eggplant Lasagna dish was making my mouth water...seriously! 🤤. I love how you explain your recipes & especially how you mention Ingredient stretching to other recipes.
    I would love to see more videos on that. Like all the different types of sauces you make & what you use them for in one video. How you take ingredients & make a soup in another & how you make this soup if you dress it up at all. There is so much out there about "What" the Medditerranean diet is but not so much about easy ways to use it in daily living while on a budget, short on time & how to use the ingredients before they go bad. So I really appreciate your videos. Let me know when you come out with your first cookbook! 😉
    Also make sure to mention in it how you can implement ingredient stretching too (example used the leftover sauce of of Eggplant to use in a pasta)
    Love ya & thanks so much for sharing!

    Ciao Bella 💗Ellen is right! You look lovely!! I had eggplant parmigiana for dinner but rollitini is one of my favs!! Don’t know if the Sicilian men in my life will let me put feta in with the ricotta though 😆
    Going to try the zucchini fritters because our plant is still producing but I’ll be honest I am definitely ready for fall! I am over the heat and ready for soups and stews 😂 Have a great week!! 😘

      You’re so so sweet Flemania 🤍🤍I totally am with you though on not always changing it up, a classic eggplant parm ALWAYS hits the spot, I bet it was delicious 🤤and I know I’m with you too, slightly coolers days would be nice!! 🍁🍂

    I was going to make homemade manicotti this weekend
    Nope, eggplant rollatini it is instead
    I just said to my hubby I wanted to make a panzanella salad for Labor Day.
    Thank you 😊

    • @CarolineLFranco
      @CarolineLFranco  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely LOVING my caraway pans so far, very non stick, very easy to clean but the color I got does get tarnished easier being lighter but that's as expected! Thank you so so much for watching and I hope the eggplant recipe turns out delicious for you!😊

      TWICE?! Wow, thank you Donna, that's incredible! I always worry my recipes might not turn out the same for others so I am relieved to know you love it! Next month I will have an updated website with printable recipes so thank you for your patience 😁

    these all look amazing. i’m curious if i were to make the eggplant dish as a sort of lasagna, would you still recommend par baking or just go ahead and layer?

    • @CarolineLFranco
      @CarolineLFranco  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      GENIUS! This dish could totally transform into a lasgna my only suggestion of what to change would be to cut the eggplant ever so slightly thicker, maybe closer to a 1/2 inch so it's a bit meatier and easier to cut into lasagna square! I don't know how many layers it would make but I would start with sauce on the bottom then the eggplant, ricotta, eggplant, ricotta, eggplant then top with lots of sauce and sprinkle cheese on top - sauce in the middle might make it too loose...hopefully, that makes sense!

      @CarolineLFranco  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know kalamata to be not only a greek olive but also have a very delicious flavor not that black don't...just their texture is a bit meatier plus they have a slightly sweeter taste I prefer in general. They are both good but different
