Dh went shopping and bought this really yucky bottled roasted red peppers. I thought I could revive them by making them into a dip. I drained them and put them in mini chopper with fresh garlic, a little olive oil, salt and black pepper and pureed it. Its pretty good. In the future I would roast my own peppers and skin them, then do the rest of the above.

For eggplant something, someone told me today: fry the eggplant rounds, unpeeled. Layer in a pan. Top with garlic and celery!. Repeat layers. Pour a vinegar marinade over all (some vinegar, hot water, sugar, salt). The longer it sits, the better it gets. I have no recipe, this is what I was told to do.
Otherwise, I was also told: fry the eggplant rounds, unpeeled. Add tomato sauce of your choice (I will pour the sauce I made for tonights pizza over the eggplant). Allow flavors to meld in fridge. Serve with lotsa challa.

I'm asking a serious question here, no bashing please.

Where do you wonderful ladies have the time to do all this cooking? I barely keep my head above water with soup, chicken and salad...maybe because I work full time but still...I'm in awe of these recipies and menus...I barely have time to shop for the basics...

I can't believe you're asking that freidasima! I was in awe of your Shabbos menu!!

I think others make a lot more than me but I'll answer for myself. I have two so far under four years old. I'm now a SAHM, B"H. I try to do shopping bit by bit through the week with them as an outing. I cook at least half of it Thurs. night if possible, and the rest Fri. sometimes though I get stuck, and I just start 10am Fri. morning cooking, bouncing between kids and kitchen. also my oldest is in school most of the day, which helps.

also I try to have a few things in the freezer...
