Eggplant Quinoa Tomato Sausage Pasta Sauce
Last week we harvested the last of the produce from our garden before putting it to bed for the winter. This included a couple of eggplants. They were the only ones we harvested from our plant this year.
I had never cooked eggplant before, but I decided to put it in a sauce because Douglas is not a big fan of eggplant. He likes it to be as disguised as possible. First, I peeled and sliced it.
Some friends of ours had given us some homemade quinoa tomato sauce that they made from the tomatoes from their garden. I cooked the eggplant with onions and then added the sauce.
Douglas grilled a bunch of chicken sausages, and I added a couple to the sauce.
It was a delicious meal. In the spirit of the pending holiday this week, thank you Junior and Krystal! I appreciate having good friends like you in our lives.
Happy Homemaking!
I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house.

Yummy! I love eggplant!
Me too! Douglas never did, but I think that he is learning to like it.
It was quite delicious. Our friends made a awesome sauce, and the eggplant really was tasty.
Before you know it you are going to be asking for eggplant!
I’m not a big eggplant fan, either, but your sauce looks delish! Eggplants are so beautiful, though … we might have to try growing some next summer.
Eggplant grew on me after eating it several times. Now I love it, and slowly I am converting Douglas as well. You should try growing some next year. Everything tastes better when you grew it yourself!
Yum! I like to roll eggplant in almond flour and garlic and fry it in coconut oil. I wish we could have you guys over for dinner!
I wish that you could be here tomorrow for Thanksgiving! We miss you tons!
