Eggplant Steaks

   For my birthday, I got a grill pan! My living situation doesn't allow me to own a grill, so it is the best thing I can get.
   This is the first recipe I could find requiring my grill pan.

Ingredients
    4 Roma tomatoes, diced
    1 cucumber, seeded and diced
    1/4 cup of parsley, chopped
    8 ounces of feta, crumbled
    2 tbs of olive oil
    Juice of one lemon
    2 medium to large eggplants
    kosher salt and pepper
    chili powder

Directions
    Heat grill pan over medium heat.
    In a small bowl, mix tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, feta, olive oil and lemon juice for a salad.
    Cut off tops of eggplants, and slice each eggplant into 3 thick steaks, trimming the skin off the outside pieces.
     Drizzle steaks with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and chili pwoder to taste
     Grill the eggplants until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes a side.
     Once steaks are transferred off grill, top with salad.
Changes I Made!
    The steak can be easily made into a sandwich. It does reheat well, just only heat the steak, not the salad.
    I used season feta cheese to add more to the salad.


This recipe from Pioneer Women: Come and Get It.

Curry, from Audrey

    This may be a surprise, but as a small town Midwest girl, I did not grow up eating curry. I don't think I ever even tried curry, until I moved to Iowa and worked a woman who lived in New York City for decades.     I was just learning how to cook, and I wanted other dishes to try and make. I asked her what I should learn how to make and without hesitating, she said curry.    So I went online to try and find a recipe, and did not care for it.    After looking at the recipe I realized it was because it had the cursed ingredient of peas in it, so I've been on a mission to find a pea less curry I like, and I found 2 recipes I wanted to try, and this is the first one I gave a shot. Ingredients     1 chicken breast     1 cup of flour     2 tbs of olive oil     1 cup of chicken broth     1 tps of mild curry     1 tps of strong curry     1 carrot, peeled and diced ...
