What a delicious recipe to make when you have eggplants lying around. This version is gluten-free and is pretty simple to make. You can also sub out some of the cheese I used and replace it with cashew nut cheese for a vegan version. I love using lots of basil as it amps up the […]
What a great recipe to use up all your odds and ends vegetables that are lying around in the fride. You can also use frozen spinach, which will work just as well. A combination of fresh , frozen and tinned foods is what supplies us with the most nutrients, as often many frozen vegetables are […]
