Mini Eggplant Pizzas
Summer time is officially here and it is time to get that BBQ out. I love the BBQ because it makes cooking so easy because there are no pans to wash. Now, I realize not everyone likes eggplant, but just give it a try. If you really don’t like eggplant than use a different vegetable.

The wonderful health benefits of eggplants are primarily derived from its vitamin, mineral, and nutrient content. Eggplants are a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, thiamin, niacin, phosphorus, copper, dietary fiber, folic acid, potassium, and manganese.
