I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Ratatouille for Two

This end of summer favourite (yes summer's almost over) is a classic vegetable stew using the bounty of zucchini, tomatoes and eggplant that this time of year offers. Enjoy it here in a little dinner for two version or serve it as an awesome side dish!


Ingredients:
1 cup diced eggplant
1 cup diced zucchini
1 medium onion
handfull of cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
2-3 tbsps fresh chopped parsley and/or basil

4 tbsps olive oil, divided
1/4-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry basil
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp dry thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper

Sauté onion and garlic in 2 tbsps olive oil in a medium skillet until just slightly browned. Add the rest of the ingredients, including 2 tbsps olive oil but not the parsley/basil and bring up the heat. Then cover and simmer 30 minutes.

Add the parsley/basil just before serving.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
