I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Baba Ganoush

For my first ever Baba Ganoush I used half a medium eggplant because I didn't even know if I liked the stuff. Should have made the whole thing!

Here's my small batch recipe which can easily be doubled.

 Ingredients:

 1/2 medium-sized eggplant
3 garlic cloves
2 tsps olive oil
1 tbsp tahini paste
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 cup chickpeas

 Cut the eggplant in half and brush the cut side with olive oil. Place cut side down on a baking sheet. Wrap unpeeled garlic cloves in foil and place alongside the eggplant. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Peel the eggplant and squeeze out the roasted garlic from their skins.

Mix everything together and process in a food processor. 

Taste to adjust for more salt, paprika or lemon juice to your liking.

 Serve at room temperature with cut veggies, pita chips or fresh homemade pitas if you're lucky!
