Twisted Eggplant Parm.

Eggplant dipped in egg covered in bread crumbs (crumbs were made out of left over herby cracker breads & almond meal) then baked. Tomato sauce layered on bottom of dish (made out of 2 cans of tomato sauce, 3 fresh tomatoes, some wine, lots of garlic, lots of oregano, lots of basil, salt and pepper). Then the eggplant layered over sauce, then lots of cheese and repeat. Last layer covered with fresh basil and a healthy amount of cheese!

Cookie Attack

Cookie Experiment: cookies are made out of almond flour, egg whites and powdered sugar primarily, the frosting in between is cream cheese and chocolate. All I have to say it's a heart attack in a cookie but it's delicious.
