I’m the type of person who walks into a Starbucks and orders a grande sugar-free non-fat half-soy organic-chocolate extra-hot white chocolate mocha. Yeah, not really : )! I’m not a big coffee drinker but I enjoy their yogurt-berry parfaits. I was craving one the other day and had some frozen blueberries around so I decided […]

Breaded Eggplant
