Under the message boards there is a recipe section. But here is a really good one anyway

This stuffed eggplant is so yummy!

(4 servings)

Ingredients
Progresso - Bread Crumbs - Plain, 1/2 cup
Produce - Unpeeled, Medium Eggplant, 2
Large Diced Tomato
Mccormick - Oregano Leaves, 1/8 tsp
Garlic, 2 Cloves (I.E. 6 g) - Raw, 2 tsp
Athenos - Reduced Fat Feta Cheese- Crumbled, 3/4 cup
Spices - Salt, table, 0.25 tsp

Preheat oven to 400°.

Score cut side of each eggplant half by making 4 crosswise cuts. Place the eggplant halves, cut sides down, on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven; cool on pan 10 minutes. Carefully remove pulp, leaving a 1/3-inch-thick shell; reserve eggplant shells. Chop pulp.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Stir in the chopped eggplant, tomato, oregano, and garlic; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, salt, (and black pepper if you wish - my family just doesn't like it so I add mine separately). Stuff each eggplant shell with about 1/2 cup eggplant mixture; sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet; bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated and lightly browned.

I love to cook! Do you? (I'm looking for people here on MFP that love to cook as much as I do.) I hope this is the type of recipe you're searching for! If not, I have some simpler ones, some casseroles, a killer vegetable lasagna, etc. Feel free to add me--same for anyone! (I'm hoping I can somehow get recipes up on here!)

Instead of finding recipes here, I use the American Heart Association cookbook, or sometimes I just look to see what we have on hand, type that into a google search with the word "recipe" and I usually get several great options, some, even, with nutrition info. The AHA cookbook is good, though, and has all the nutrition information you'd need to make good choices.

Hello! Just joined here as well. Recommended by a good friend of mine. Feel free to add me! Trying to get in better shape for my sister's wedding, but all in all, an overhaul is LONG overdue!
