A nice and new recipe. I love walnuts and they were so tasty with the greenbeens and brown sugar. I got many compliments on my dinner that evening.

This cake batter is incredibly moist. So moist, almost didn't hold up. LOL. Anyway, I made cupcakes and they came out great. The only thing I would change is how much sugar is put in, especially if using frosting to decorate. Next time I will try just adding 2 cups of sugar and ommit the other half. I will make this again.

This is the first time I've made eggplant parmesan, a dish I've only ever eaten at my Italian in-laws' house. I've never liked it, but since my neighbor gave me a few eggplant I felt like I should do something with them. After slaving away coating and baking tray after tray of eggplant (my slices were very small, having come from rather skinny eggplants), I was ready to pitch the whole idea and order pizza. However, once dinner was on the table I changed my mind. WOW! This was soooo good! All this time I thought I didn't like eggplant parmesan! Baking the eggplant cut back so much on the "grease" factor, and the eggplant sliced retained some of their crispness after baking. I did slice them quite thin, which my husband prefers. Even my in-laws were very complimentary of this dish! I followed the recipe almost exactly, only adding Italian seasonings and fresh ground black pepper to the breadcrumbs. It also took 4 eggs to coat the eggplant, not two. Baked the eggplant slices for ten minutes per side, as others suggested. For the sauce, I used home-made tomato sauce from my garden. The recipe is Homemade Tomato Sauce I here on allrecipes. The result was fantastic, and I'll be making this again! Great recipe!
