As you probably already read in the George Foreman grill blog, we do love grilling eggplant, and there isn’t anything better than grilled eggplant parmesan, except when you grow the eggplant yourself. This year, our garden included eggplant, and we had the most amazing harvest! We thought we would share my (Gerry) recipe for grilled eggplant parmesan, which includes many items from our garden, though you can, of course, purchase fresh items from your local farmer’s market, or grocer. This is a great summer dish. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Difficulty:
Easy Peasy
Grilled Garden Eggplant

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggplants
  • Approximately 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
  • Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced 
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. Wash and peel the eggplant, cut lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil, set aside. 
  2. Cut cherry tomatoes in half, drizzle with olive oil, and place on half of the grill. We have a Foreman grill, so we can do this. If you have a grill that has slots, you can do this on a flat top, or in a pan. You can also substitute large tomatoes and grill those. 
  3. While the tomatoes are grilling, grill the eggplant for about 6-7 minutes on each side. I brush with olive oil at each turn. We like our eggplant buttery, with a nice olive oil taste. 
  4. Remove the tomatoes, and add slices of fresh mozzarella to the eggplant and cover with lid for about 5 minutes. 
  5. Brush with olive oil, add fresh basil, and tomatoes and serve with pasta, bread, or whatever you choose.

If you think you are not an eggplant fan, well, try this recipe and you will be. We promise!

Hi, we are Shannon and Gerry Arner, and our rescue, fur baby, Betty White. After owning our own business, working 24/7, we made a lifestyle change and decided to make the most out of life. We sold our house, downsized, and moved to the coast. We are wanderlusters; we live life minimally, but fully. We live each day as an adventure, and enjoy sharing them with you!

It's #podcasttuesday and our #sparkinourlives  It's #podcasttuesday and our #sparkinourlives guest today is @shaunanuckles founder of @advocationsystem
🎙️
Shauna Nuckles is a public relations industry leader and founder. Shauna spent her career rising through the PR agency ranks. She was determined to move to the top of an industry she loved and put in the hours and dedication to do so. At the point where it looked like she’d “made it,” the toll that job-related stress took on her health told a different story. Her doctor told her that she had 6 months to keep working like she was now or her body would force her to stop.
🎙️
Through this process, she realized she wasn’t alone in feeling overwhelming stress and heard stories from others who shared their anxiety, stressed-induced hospital visits, and panic attacks. 
🎙️
Her mission suddenly became clear. In 2019 she founded Advocation, which is now paving the way for industry change by working with PR agencies to reduce stress without sacrificing results.
🎙️
We chat with Shauna about:
☑ Rising through the public relations ranks, and her passion for the industry.
☑ Experiencing burnout, and how she pivoted after her health crisis.
☑ Starting Advocation and what led her down the path as a founder.
☑ Compassion fatigue and how she maneuvers through it.
☑ The Advocation model and what is in store for the future. 
☑ Shauna answers our “Fast Five” questions and the most important question, “What does a life well lived mean to you?” Swipe left to hear her answer! 👈🏻
🎙️
For anyone who is still in the hustle culture mentality (we've been there, so we get it 🖐🏻) this is a MUST listen! Tons of helpful and inspiring nuggets in this convo!
"Everybody can be great … because anybody can se "Everybody can be great … because anybody can serve. You do not have to have a college degree to serve. You do not have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This was a gift from @scoutsobel - an amazing woman, @emotionalentrepreneur and CEO/Founder of @scoutsagency
🤎
I carried this tote everywhere and when the handle recently broke (I overload it most of the time) I knew that the message was one that I needed to see every day in my office.
🤎
If you know me, you know I cannot sew, but with a bit of patience (it's truly a virtue), I was able to sew it into the most endearing pillow.

In case you didn't know, you ARE safe in your emotions. Now go read Scout's book, #TheEmotionalEntrepreneur and practice some self-love this weekend!

January can be challenging for a lot of people. With the struggles from the holidays, whether expectations were set high, or post-holiday letdown, January leads the year with the highest depressive episodes.
🤎
There are also factors such as holiday bills coming due, less daylight, and cold weather.

Take a moment today to breathe, give yourself a great big hug, and write down 3 things you're grateful for in your life.
🤎
We're with you, and #BettyWhite is definitely with you!
