EGGPLANT ROLLS W/ TOMATO SAUCE
2 to 3 of these rolls makes for 1 serving as a meatless main meal. The bulgur mix is so good by itself I'll usually make more than I need to freeze for a side to other dishes.

GORGONZOLA STUFFED EGGPLANT ROLLS WITH MUSHROOM TOMATO SAUCE
A vegetarian dish that can easily have meat added to it like ground, Italian sausage or veal. Very easy to make and a healthy meal that will fill you up. It is best to start the sauce and let it simmer while you prepare the rest of the dish. Some grilled chiabata bread goes along great for soaking up some of the sauce. And a glass of wine!

STUFFED EGGPLANT PARMESAN ROLLS
Had this for the first time at a take-out pizza and pasta place in southern California. We all loved it so much that we came up with our own version that is just as good as the take-out one. This has become an all-time favorite in our house. Serve with your favorite tomato sauce, cream sauce, or other topping sauce. We serve this over spaghetti noodles, then top with favorite sauce sprinkled with cheese. Or just eat as they are straight from the oven.
