The eggplant is then topped with a creamy tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, and baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. It's a great meal that's perfect for a quick and easy dinner.

Short Ribs with Polenta:

These short ribs are a hearty and flavorful meal that's perfect for a cold winter night. The ribs are seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then slow-cooked in the oven until tender and falling off the bone. The ribs are served with a creamy polenta mixture that's flavored with Parmesan cheese and herbs. It's a comforting and satisfying meal that's sure to impress your guests.

Seared Pork Chops with Cherries and Spinach:

These seared pork chops are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a hearty meal. The pork chops are seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then seared in a hot pan until crispy and caramelized. The pork chops are then served with a cherry and spinach mixture that's flavored with balsamic vinegar and honey. It's a great meal that's perfect for a special occasion or a cozy night in.
