    This dish sorta turned into an experiment.  I started with a plan in mind. And it kept changing as I found new things in the fridge to add to the dish!

    I needed to use the eggplant and cubanelle peppers I picked from the garden this week.  And I had 2 green tomatoes in the fridge (more on the green tomato situation in the next garden update!).  Why not throw those in too?

    So this is what we got!

      This looks fabulous! I’ve never cooked with eggplant before. Do you just dice it up? Seed it? Peel it first?

        I just diced it and tossed it in with the other veggies. No need to seed or peel…although you could peel it if you preferred!

      This looks pretty good! I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t even have to bake it. Have to try it!

      That looks delicious! That one is definitely going on our dinner rotation very soon. I’m planning to make your Catalina Chicken soon, too. Finally got my hands on Catalina dressing for 15 cents, and the time seems right now. 🙂

      I made this tonight. I din’t have spaghetti noodles or peppers, so I improviesd. I used regular sized shell noodles and chopped celery in place of the peppers. My whole family just loved it! I’ll use the peppers next time and see what the taste difference is. All I used was chicken, onion, celery, garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt&pepper, 1 can italian style diced tomatoes,shell noodles, and mozz. cheese. What a great, simple, cheap meal!
