i love ratatouille. and i have the blog posts (here, here, and here) to prove it! ratatouille is one of my favorite flavor combinations of vegetables – i love the eggplant, zucchini, and tomato combination! in this month’s vegetarian times, mark bittman (!) offered a series of vegetable-laden recipes, including this roasted ratatouille, and i knew i had to try this out right away.
mike and i have two cardinal rules for grocery shopping: 1. make a list before going to the store, and 2. never shop hungry. since i’ve discussed my meal planning and grocery list methods recently, i thought i would focus on the latter rule. you see, when we shop hungry it’s astounding what makes it into the cart: lots of sugar-laden food (read: cookies and chocolate), tons of salty snacks (read: pretzels, chips, popcorn, etc), oh yeah, and someone always gets cranky (read: me). does this sound familiar to any of you?
