I decided at some point in my 24+ hour case of insomnia that I needed to try my hand at making some bread. I have found it really difficult to find any vegan bread at any stores available to me. So naturally I looked up an easy recipe on VegWeb.com and hit the grocery store to make sure I had everything I needed. I ended up making two loaves and I was definitely worried about how they'd turn out... mainly because I haven't gotten any sleep whatsoever making reading and following a recipe proved to be pretty difficult. The taste is really wonderful and when followed correctly the bread would have been perfect. But you learn as you go in the kitchen!! 
After I went grocery shopping this morning and was putting all of the new goodies away I found an eggplant I had forgotten about! It was still good and I needed to use it up... I marinated the eggplant "steaks" for about 20 minutes in a mixture of teriyaki sauce, white zinfandel wine, and a few different herbs (oregano, fennel, rosemary, and basil). I found half of a green bell pepper and a little more than 1/4 of a red one so I chopped those up, added some mushrooms, and baked the little experiment for 30 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I was pleasantly surprised!! Even my omnivore cousin really loved it! It's definitely a recipe I will be repeating in the near future.
