I have to honestly say that only started eating eggplant just over a year ago. My girlfriend at the time introduced to it, and ever since I’ve been really be craving eggplant and looked forward to trying it new ways. I love this version on stuffed eggplant as much as I did spicy grilled eggplant with green pepper and parley- the dish that started my eggplant craze. Try this recipe; it’s quick and simple vegetarian meal for those always on the go.

Avocado and pineapple salad is simple but perfectly highlights the subtle creaminess of the avocados and the more assertive pineapple – says my fiancée. I particularly find pineapple and avocado to be strange mixture for a salad - don’t get me wrong I enjoy both pineapple and avocado by themselves or in other recipes, but just not together. Well what I can say my fiancée likes it, maybe you will like it too. Try it!
