SO HOW'D IT GO?
Mmm! These are delicious and super easy to make. I will say I have yet to try them with eggplant (I have been substituting zucchini becasue other family members are not eggplant fans), and I do add garlic and onion (because I add that to EVERYTHING... literally). Highly recommended-- a lot of flavor for such a simple recipe!
i just tried this for dinner tonight. it was easy and yummy! i did add some garlic though. i'll be using this again!
