I had Eggplant Parmigiana for the first time years ago at my favorite Ft. Wayne restaurant:
Casa Ristoranti Italiano
My mom got me the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook as a wedding present and it is my go-to reference for just about all of our meals. When we first got married, I started making this wonderful dish and it has become a family favorite! Even Luke likes it! Love that!

YUM Al. That looks so good! I'm going to have to try it. :)
Your eggplant parmesan looks delicious Alli! You can also make it by grilling the eggplant slices instead of sautéing them and it tastes just as good.
