Our friends at County Fair Foods help make our STRIVE 2 Survive lectures extra great with their healthy and tasty treats. Last night’s treats were once again delish!! These are must try recipes! The Angel Lush is a great sweet treat without all of the extra calories and the Eggplant Parmesan was excellent! Eggplant is not a common vegetable we eat in our area, but this recipe is wonderful so I really encourage you to give it a try!

1 pkg (1 oz) vanilla fat free, sugar free, instant pudding
1 cup thawed lite cool whip
1 round angel food cake cut into 3 layers
10 small strawberries

Healthy Eggplant Parmesan
1 egg
3 egg whites
1 Tbsp water
3 eggplants thinly sliced
2 cups whole wheat bread crumbs
6 cups spaghetti sauce (divided)
3/4 lb part skim shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (divided)
1/2 tsp dried basil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together egg, egg whites, and water in a shallow bowl. Peel and slice eggplant. Dip eggplant slices into the egg then bread crumbs. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until fork tender about 7-10 minutes on each side. Spread spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking pan. Place a layer of eggplant in the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Repeat layers ending with cheese on top. Sprinkle with basil. Bake in oven for 35 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!
