Cream Puffs

This cream puff recipe is simple to make. And as an aside, the vanilla pudding cream filling is incredible and is the perfect complement to fresh fruit or chocolate cupcakes.

Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan Lettuce Wraps

This rendition of a chicken and eggplant Parmesan sandwich is satisfying and light, a perfect summer meal. Wrap the chicken and eggplant in large lettuce leaves for a main course or in smaller leaves for an appetizer.

Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich

Eggplant parmigiana is a great way to get your family to eat eggplant because by dredging it in egg and flour, it becomes soft and tender and the flavor mellows out. In this rendition of eggplant parmesan, I have combined chicken and eggplant parmesan strips into a sandwich. When mixed in with the chicken strips, your family may not even notice that eggplant is included.

Wild Blackberry Pie

I love this pie during summer and I love this pie during winter (when I’m dreaming of summer). The “little wild blackberries” are the perfect combination of tart and sweet. If you don’t have wild Pacific blackberries you can use the berry of your choice.

Spinach-Feta-Bacon Frittata (or Spanish Tortilla)

Frittatas and Spanish tortillas are very similar. A common version of the tortilla española is made with a simple combination of eggs and potato. In this rendition, I added spinach, feta cheese, bacon and red bell pepper.
