Last year I posted a recipe for a Grilled Rump Roast that was stuffed with a dangerously addicting spinach and shiitake mushroom mixture (click here to revisit that recipe). A balance of palate pleasing flavors and texture, the stuffing was one that I almost immediate thought would be ideal with pasta shells and sauce. Sadly [...]

Let’s be honest…I have an interesting relationship with eggplant.  Much like the Coneheads (see below) I don’t care much for the veggie but for some reason it regularly ends up in the kitchen (must have something to do with that meddling wife of mine).  Consequently I’m forced to find ways that make the oblong veggie [...]
