Eggplant Curry Sauce
/
What a crazy two weeks it has been. I’m transitioning from being home with the kiddos full-time to working part-time. This might seem simple for many of you, but it’s new to me! My mind is a bit overloaded with things right now: learning at work, getting kids to and from places, packing lunches, you know how it goes. I’m trying to be more prepared for my days, in general. Especially with food. Quick meals sure come in handy when you get home right before dinner time. I just realized this recipe is quite similar to my last blog post. I think that is because when I don’t have a lot of time to get food ready, curry, or a curry-style, is often my go-to. I like packing in a bunch of veggies, maybe some meat, into a flavorful sauce. It feels much fancier than it is! :) . We've been eating a lot of cauliflower rice these days, but regular rice is certainly fine with it too!
