      I love the idea of a roasted version! The one I’m linking up is a stir fry.

      That looks wonderful Erin! I linked up a nice crock pot Balsamic Chicken that would go great with these roasted veggies… Mmmmm Mmmmm good! My mouth is watering just thinking about it 🙂

      Ever since I got my big girl knives a few years ago for Christmas, I just live to chop. It’s a great stress reliever for me. The dish looks delicious.

      Thanks for the carnival.

      Your ratatouile looks delicious! I had been looking for a good eggplant recipe. Last time I went to the pick fresh farm I picked up an eggplant and he suggested a stir fry. It was very good but I think your dish looks even better.
