Mexican Style Eggplant Casserole
Roasted eggplant layered with homemade Mexican style tomato and chili pepper sauce featuring onions and black olives. Seasoned with cumin and garlic salt, the eggplant and spicy sauce are layered with cheddar cheese and baked in a hot oven until hot bubbling and brown on top. This Mexican style casserole can be served any time of day, as a main course, or as a compliment to an entrée. Perfect to enjoy year round, it is especially nice during the early fall when eggplant is in peak season, fresh, and often less expensive.
The eggplant slices can be salted, placed in a colander, and the excess moisture drained off. The process removes any bitterness that may be found in the slices. Pat the slices with a damp cloth and use as directed in the recipe. You can place the eggplant on paper towels while preparing other ingredients to remove additional moisture. Homemade tomato sauce really makes this dish shine. If you serve the casserole with sour cream, keep the sour cream refrigerated and drop a dollop of chilled sour cream on individual servings.

Making Your Own Old
Many people enjoy the wonderful taste and benefits of making their own old-fashioned homemade ice cream. However finding a shop that makes it fresh like they used to in the old days can be quite difficult.
