Ratatouille!


Ratatouille!
Originally uploaded by Allisona
Inspired by seeing the movie "Ratatouille" on Monday I decided to make my first ever batch of my own ratatouille in the crockpot today. It was strange and fun to buy and cook with vegetables I've never cooked with before like eggplant and zucchini (yes, indeed, I'm a very sheltered cook :)). Eggplants feel weird- just sayin'.

Pleased to see, too, that what with ratatouille being just vegetables and spices that the fat content is almost non-existent and the calorie count is just 60 calories for a cup. Yay for that, since I've been eating too much bad stuff recently and I'm aiming to get back on the straight and narrow. Love how colourful this recipe is, too! Hopefully it tastes good- it's cooking as I type.

Story time:

So tell me about something you've cooked or baked this week.
