last night i decided to take a recipe that i used to make pre-veganness. it's a recipe from giada's "everyday italian" show on the food network called "sicilian swordfish with eggplant penne" what did i do? i took out the swordfish. and it was still fantastic! and cheaper and took much less time to prepare. i must share!
