veggie stuffed eggplant with feta

this was an amazing vegetarian eggplant dish and the best part was that it was so simple. after a day at the beach with a way too hard working big foodie daddy and a happy to have his daddy home littlefoodie we were sandy, sweaty and tired. i adapted it slightly from the cookinglight.com recipe (click on above link for original). i served it along side some steamed green and yellow beans with a red wine vinaigrette and fresh basil.

enjoy!
