There’s always so many amazing ideas you come across on Pinterest. I’m obsessed with checking it every day. Some ideas I see really jump out at me, and I HAVE to try them. Some work out amazing and others…..not so much. This brings me to my Fact or Whacked segment: where I am essentially the guinea pig, and you can sit back and relax while I do the initial leg work. I want to let every one know that this segment is NOT MEANT TO OFFEND ANYONE. It takes a lot of hard work and bravery to share your ideas on a blog, and this is not meant to take that away from anyone. I’m merely offering my experiences with each idea, and you are more than welcome to try them for yourself.
I recently came upon a pin for Eggplant Pizza from Kalyn’s Kitchen. Since pizza is one of my favorite foods, and my waistline couldn’t take it if I ate it everyday…..I thought I’d give it a try! I haven’t eaten eggplant since…who knows…and my BF hasn’t ever had one. I was super skeptical, but when I found out it was adapted from a Julia Child recipe, I knew I had to try it!
First I started slicing the eggplant about 3/4″ thick, and then put salt over the tops of them to help soak up the water. You leave these on for about 30 minutes. Then wipe the salt off (along with a lot of moisture, it’s really cool to see it bead up like that).
I’m not going to go through a whole tutorial because Kalyn’s Kitchen did a great job (I mean if I can follow it, anyone can). Anyways, the final results are stunning, and I felt pretty fancy with my almost Julia Child recipe! (I enjoyed the added basil immensely).
Final verdict:
Fact! Definitely give this one a try! Plus, it’s super healthy because it’s gluten free, vegetarian, and low carb!
I’m just starting on the segment of Fact or Whacked, and I’d LOVE any feedback anyone has to offer!
So glad you enjoyed them!
