I Think I Love Eggplants 😍

Well, it looks like I have developed a faux pregnancy craving or my taste buds have finally matured and expanded the menu items to include → eggplants.

It all began with a delicious eggplant parmesan that I had at a dinner. It was deeeelicious. I was so surprised that I actually had a second serving. In fact, whenever I see eggplant being served at an event, I will have some and it makes me wonder, why have I not had this before? It's time to do something about it.
