Crispy crusted chicken breasts stuffed with mushrooms and baked in a creamy sauce. Yum!

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

So yummy, store-bought seven-layer dip can never beat freshly homemade version, no doubt.

This is my copycat of the popular salad sold at McDonald's. It's the only thing I eat off their menu and I was anxious to replicate it at home.
