This recipe is so Simple!

1 small onion chopped

1 medium eggplant pealed and chopped

1 medium zuchinni chopped


All veggies should be chopped in bite size pieces.


1) add oil to a large sauce pan and add in onions.

2) once onions are transluscent add in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil

3 ) stir in the eggplant, squash and zuchinni and turn down the temp to med low.


After 10 mins stir. then turn down to low. Serve over rice, noodles, or eat alone. I will add cilantro or basil once I plate the ratatouille. Also grated cheese is great compliment.

Homemade Salsa



3 tomatoes (1 lb) chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped onions (any type)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 hot pepper of your choice finely chopped(I used 1/4 of a hungarian hot pepper)
1/4 cup Italian dressing.

Mix all the ingredients together.

NOTE: depending on how hot you like your salsa it is best to put a little bit of the pepper in then taste it then keep adding until you get the level of spice you want.
