Smoked Salt & Pepper

Sometimes, you tire of heavy Holiday foods. I mean...not really a lot. But there's gotta be like, ONE, meal where I don't crave thick slices of ham and full-fat egg nog. Spiked with a bit of rum. ...anyway. I was NOT referring to my own holiday let-loose diet. But on the off chance you want some veggies. And if you can get your hands on some eggplants still good from fall harvest then this recipe is a winner. winner. Eggplant dinner. I wrote this post SO LONG AGO that I'm not sure where I sourced the original recipe or idea. Possibly Martha Stewart Living subscription circa 2011? 2012? I stay on top of my blog, as you can see ;) Quinoa-Stuffed Eggplant with Yogurt Sauce Serves: 2 Ingredients: 2 large Eggplants 1 c. quinoa, rinsed and drained 1/2 lb. mild Italian sausage 1 quart baby bella or white mushrooms, cleaned Italian parsley, stems removed and roughly chopped salt and pepper Directions: Cook quinoa according to package directio
