Meatless Monday: Baked Eggplant Parmesan
I can’t lie, tonight was not meatless, but a few weeks back I did cook up this amazing comfort food dish for a cozy night in. It had several steps and was not a super quick dish to make, but it was still pretty simple overall, and soooo worth the time spent.

I already have some pumpkin stock in my pantry, but I think I’m going to need...
