Deep Fried Eggplant! (and Skillet-Steamed Vegetables)

I've had deep fried onion rings before so I figured it would be fun to try using eggplant instead. They turned out alright. A little dry but with a marinara sauce or something they would be so good! 

Just cut up one large eggplant into 1/2in slices then stick them in cold water for 5 or 10 minutes. Coat them in flour (shake off the excess), dip them in an egg mixture (we used 2 eggs beat with 1 tbsp of milk), then coat them a second time in bread crumbs. Fry them up in some hot oil for a few minutes and they're good to go! Watch them too, they cook fast and some of our slices turned really brown, really fast! 

We also made a skillet-steamed vegetable dish (mine are a little overcooked...whoops) but they were perfect for me! 

I cut up a medium zucchini and a yellow squash and heated them in a pan with 1/4 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of butter. I put a lid on it so it would steam the veggies (supposedly for 3 minutes but apparently for longer since they were a little over done...). I took the lid off and let the water reduce a little so there was a butter sauce and then I served it. Super easy, healthy, and delicious!
