Will keep that in mind come June.<br /><br />I'm with Jan -- I'd keep the greens and add the mushrooms in as well. This sound yummy and I like that you could easily adapt it to any size you want. I could even make an individual portion size.

And the mushrooms.<br /><br />I'm thinking I might have to try this in single serving casseroles just for me. :) I'd add both the greens AND the mushrooms!<br /><br />Of course, I'd make a family size rotini/cheese bake (w/o eggplant and mushrooms) for the family, too. Just because they need to eat once in a while!<br /><br />And those are some yummy looking strawberries :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-25862615035746690032016-03-18T09:22:44.274-04:002016-03-18T09:22:44.274-04:00Ruthy, you can almost hide the eggplant in this.

Dave doesn't like eggplant, but we grew it last year and the entire family fell in love with it (of course it was breaded and fried in olive oil and cheesed...) but they loved it!

I can sing the Tupperware songs!!! :)<br /><br />Virginia, it's so funny you said that about the bowl, because I remember my neighbor Rose's glass, round Pyrex covered baker and the gifts of rice pudding... it wasn't great rice pudding, but it was the sweetest gift of time and love!

Why...I should NEVER come here in the early morning! Why do I do this? Now I want this for breakfast but I'm having bran flakes instead. <br /><br />BRAN FLAKES, PEOPLE.<br /><br /> Anyway, I love that green bowl. Is it plastic? It reminds me of this old Tupperware bowl my neighbor had when I was little. She always brought over delicious things in that bowl. It's the bowl of goodness in my memories, haha.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.com
