Eggplant Parmesan

As you know, I have been helping with the garden in my parents' backyard. We are getting a pretty good harvest this summer. Something that we tried growing is eggplant. What a pretty vegetable eggplants are. So purple and beautiful. We got a few nice ones harvest so far.

I know the hubs isn't a huge fan of eggplant, but he loves lasagna, so what better recipe to try than eggplant parmesan. It's like lasagna, replacing the noodles with sliced eggplant. Delicious!
