This fried eggplant is my favorite way to prepare eggplant so far. It's crispy, a little bit salty and just a little bit greasy :)

Michelle's Collard Greens - Cooked in 15 Minutes!

I must be the only Southerner who doesn't like mushy greens and doesn't believe collards must be cooked forever to be done. Watch me prepare flavorful collards that are actually green when I'm done.

Sauces and Marinades

Spaghetti is nothing without a great marinara sauce. This recipe is not "from scratch" but it's homemade. You can easily tweak it to your taste and use it for much more than pasta.
