Stuffed eggplant

by with One Comment RecipesUncategorized

Are you ready to spoil yourself and your family/friends with a beautiful and delicious new recipe? This is my second eggplant recipe on here and I am so happy how this turned out. In my last eggplant recipe I discussed the nutrition benefits of this vegetable so I encourage you to check that out. This recipe seems so fancy but incredibly easy to make!

I served this as a side with a baked chicken dish but It could also be a fun appetizer or hors-d’oeuvre by cutting the finished product into smaller pieces, putting a toothpick through and serving with some marina sauce on the side for dipping (check out my IG reel). I’ve attached a pdf recipe card and also shared a few tips below.

To start, make sure you have drawn out the water from your eggplant slices or you may end up with a spongy, watery eggplant. Eggplant, like most vegetables, have a higher water concentration and a little sea salt can help draw out the water from the slices. Don’t skip this step.

The breadcrumbs can get soggy after you have breaded one or two portions. To prevent this I only add a little bit of breadcrumbs to my bowl at a time. After done breading one piece I added more fresh breadcrumbs to the bowl. I love this brand, Aleia’s Gluten Free breadcrumbs are extra crispy and perfect for this recipe.

I used an air-fryer for cooking but this could also be done in the oven. Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes and then flip over and bake additional 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

I hope you enjoy! If you end up making this recipe and care to share please tag me! @renew_nutrition_consulting

My First Blog Post

As I sit down to write this first blog I have to keep reminding myself this is real! I have always dreamed of being a business owner, having a job that I ABOSLUTLEY LOVE. Being able to help people learn about nutrition, get in tune with their bodies, to live each day feeling more energized and finding a new vibrancy is very rewarding to me. Renew Nutrition Consulting is becoming a reality for me and I believe it’s happening at the perfect time.

This year of 2020 has been rough, we all know! But it’s been a year of a lot of realizations;  being healthy is the biggest defense we can have against illness’ and viruses and change is needed in many areas of our life. I believe its never too late to make change because just knowing you’re doing something can do wonders to our minds and outlook. That placebo effect is REAL, but you would be surprised that just even small changes can improve your health. I have now been a RD for about 6 years and I wouldn’t say I was ready for this business without the years of learning behind me. Yes, I got extensive education in school but the years being in the field provides completely different training than school. I have worked with a multitude of different ailments along the spectrum of different age groups, gender, cultural and racial backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses. All of which may have required a different approach and nutrition plan of care; therefore, now I feel confident that I can assist anyone with this wealth of knowledge I have developed.

My goal for this business is to empower people to take care of themselves by being educated on nutrition and in turn manage their chronic conditions and/or prevent the development of conditions. My promise is to always be real, to stay on top of the research so that my clients and followers are given the most up-to date and trusted information. I will only showcase products I believe in and that I personally have tried. You will not see me post memes or products that don’t have absolute truth behind it, and you will not see me focus on one type of eating plan/diet.

I am so excited for this upcoming adventure and hope you find this page and my services to be of benefit to you, your family and your loved ones. Please always reach out for questions, concerns and requests for content you want to see.

 

Blessings!!
