Some of my asked about recipes in class... enjoy!

... because my parents taught me, and I teach my two boys,  that it is nice to share. 

Date Energy Balls for Nursing (vegan/paleo)

Ingredients:

2 cups walnuts, or other nut/seed of choice
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
2 cups soft Medjool dates, pitted
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

 

Here is the direct link to the original website if you want to take a look.

Directions:

In a large food processor fitted with an “S” blade, process the walnuts and coconut until crumbly. Add in the dates, coconut oil, vanilla and sea salt and process again until a sticky, uniform batter is formed.

 

Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons, then roll between your hands to form balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then place in the freezer to set for at least an hour before serving. Store the balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for an even longer shelf life. (I prefer them frozen, myself!)

 

Makes about 2 dozen.

In a blend whirl:

1.25 cups oil

1 orange, cut up, leave peel on

1 egg

1/2 cup orange juice

Eggplant Parmesan from Scalini's Italian Restaurant in Cobb County, Georgia.

For more than twenty years, women have gone to Scalini's Italian restaurant in Cobb County, Georgia, with one thing on their minds: To go into labour. They always order the Eggplant Parmesan, which, so far, has helped encourage more than 300 babies to come into the world within 48 hours of their mom eating the meal.

 

The restaurant promises results within two days. If you haven't had your baby by then, expectant moms get a gift certificate for another try.  The chefs at Scalini's shared their recipe with us. If it doesn't work, sorry, there's no gift certificate -- but you can use the recipe again, absolutely free of charge. (For best results, don't try it until your due date.) 

Eggplant Parmesan alla Scalini's Ingredients:

3 medium size eggplants

1 cup of flour

6 eggs, beaten

4 cups fine Italian bread crumbs, seasoned

Olive oil for sauteing

8 cups of marinara sauce*

1/2 cup of grated Romano cheese

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 lbs of mozzarella cheese shredded

2 cups of ricotta cheese 

Instructions:

After you wash the eggplant, slice them into 1/4 inch thick slices. You may choose to peel the eggplant before you slice it, however you may want to leave the skin on since the skin contains a lot of vitamins. Place the eggplant slices on a layer of paper towels and sprinkle with a little salt, then cover with another layer of paper towels and hold it down with something heavy. This will drain the excess moisture. Let them set for about an hour.

 

Working with one slice of eggplant at a time, dust with flour, then dip in beaten eggs, then coat well with bread crumbs. Saute' in preheated olive oil on both sides until golden brown.

 

In baking dish, alternate layers of marinara sauce, eggplant slices, ricotta, parmesan, and romano cheeses, until you fill the baking dish about an 1/8 inch from the top. Cover with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for 25 minutes in 375 degree oven. Let set for 10 minutes before serving.

Instructions:
