I forgot to take a before picture but here is an after.

Here is the recipe for the casserole.

Shrimp and Eggplant Casserole

Peel and dice 2-3 nice size eggplants.
Boil them till just starting to get tender.
Drain well and saute the eggplant with onion, bell pepper, celery and lots of seasoning of your choice.

When the veggies are tender add in the shrimp. Saute until the shrimp are done. Add enough seasoned bread crumbs to firm up the mixture. Put into sprayed casserole and top with bread crumbs. Bake at 350 till nice and bubbly.

Wednesday January 6th

The menu tonight was thrown together at the last minute. We were supposed to go to cooking demo but hubby ended up working late.

So we had Jambalaya, green beans, and rolls

Here are the ingredients except for the onion I used in the green beans. I forgot to grab one for the picture.

Here is the Jambalaya, I made it with smoked sausage and chicken.

I used a can of fresh style green beans, drained. First I browned some bacon cut into small pieces and some onion diced. Then I added the drained green beans, a little pepper and cooked it down.

And here are the rolls and yes they are brown and serve. Since I wasn't planning on cooking I didn't have time to make fresh ones. I ran to the grocery at 5 to get the ingredients and had supper on the table at 7.

For supper tonight we had Shrimp in a creamy tomato sauce over spaghetti, oven roasted carrots, and garlic bread.

Here is the recipe for the carrots. It was a new one for me and I usually don't enjoy carrots but I could have eaten the whole bowl of these and we will have them again soon. Hubby enjoyed them alot too.

Oven Roasted Carrots

Peel carrots and cut into 1 1/2 to 2 inch lengths. Then cut in half. Coat lightly with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper.

Roast in 400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or till lightly browned and tender.

Here are pictures of supper.

Fried Venison Backstrap

I did cook tonight, made fried venison backstrap, three cheese mashed tators, and corn.

But I forgot to take a picture lol. If you want any of the recipes, just let me know. I will try to remember to do better tomorrow.
