Parmesan Lovers Feast

Tonight's dinner started off with me trying to figure out how to utilize a quarter of a loaf of leftover free bread and ended up being a masterpiece. I think this is my favorite meal this year next to Does God Like Enchiladas? I loved every morsel of every dish that I made tonight and I'm not ashamed to tell you so. If you've ever enjoyed garlic, lemon, butter or chicken, then this meal is for you. What a wonderful way to wrap up the first month of A Food Year.

I have no idea what Chicken Paillard means, but this dish with caper brown butter is
awesome. Shannon picked the capers out because she doesn't like them, but she loved the dish itself. The chicken is crispy, despite the dressing, and infused with a wonderful lemony butter flavor.

The Garlic Baked Cauliflower is tangy and flavorful and right up there with my favorite cauliflower recipe, which is mashed havarti cauliflower fauxtatoes. I'm sure those will turn up when I decide on doing a low-carb inspired dinner.

I was a little skeptical about the Mediterranean Eggplant Cakes, but since I had leftovers from the Vegetable Napoleons I made a week ago that were going to go bad quite soon, I figured I'd make use of them somehow. Even with week old eggplant these were absolutely delicious. If you have ever tried eggplant and disliked it, try this recipe. Try all of them!
