A reader asked about the recipe for the Oven-fried Eggplant we made Saturday night. I thought I had included the recipe along with the recipes for Wayne's chicken tenders dinner. I even told Judy this morning at The Pig she could find the recipe here. My brain just doesn't work as well as it used to!! Here's the recipe and many thanks to the reader for asking about it!! I've also added the recipe to the post about this meal below!

Oven-fried Eggplant

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Slice a large eggplant into ½-inch rounds.

Put in a bowl and salt lightly.

Combine 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup of mayonnaise.

Dip the eggplant slices in this mixture and roll in bread crumbs.

Place eggplant on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Bake for 12 minutes.

Turn eggplant over; and bake an additional 12 minutes or until golden.

I am going to try making using the recipe to make Eggplant Parmesan. For the bread crumb coating, I will use Italian-style bread crumbs or just add a bit of Italian seasonings to plain bread crumbs. I will also toss in about a 1/3 - 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. After baking as directed, I'll top it with warm pizza sauce and sprinkle with a bit of shredded Italian cheese blend.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy! I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone!

Dough Burgers

Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant! When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share
