1/2 pound frozen blanched cut green beans, defrosted
1 pound eggplants, ends trimmed, cut on the diagonal into 3/4-inch slices or roll cut
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn
2/3 cup chicken stock
4 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/4 cup dark soy
2 tablespoons black vinegar
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 teaspoon water
DIRECTIONS
Combine the pork with the soy sauce and allow to stand while you prepare the green beans and eggplant. Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and, when hot, add 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the green beans (careful – this will splatter!) and stir-fry until the green beans are slightly wrinkled, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the green beans and transfer to paper-lined plate to drain. Add the remaining oil to the pan and add the eggplants and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplants are lightly browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggplant to a shallow bowl and set aside. Add the garlic and basil to the skillet and cook for 10 to 15 seconds. Add the pork and cook, stirring, until it changes color, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the eggplants to the skillet and add the chicken stock, hoisin, dark soy, black vinegar, chili garlic sauce and sesame oil and stir to mix well. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook until the eggplants are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Return the green beans to the pan along with the cornstarch mixture and bring mixture up to a boil. When the sauce has thickened, serve immediately.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Place the cubed potatoes into a baking dish. (The cubes of potatoes should be about 3/4 of an inch on all sides) You can spray the baking dish with a baking spray too to eliminate anything possibly sticking Pile on the olive oil, garlic salt, salt, paprika, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Using your fingers, or a spoon if you feel inclined, get in to the potatoes and carefully mix everything around until the seasonings coat each potato. Transfer the baking dish into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss the potatoes with a pair of tongs. Put the baking dish back into the oven and bake for 10 minutes more. Remove the baking sheet and give them another toss and place them back in the oven and roast until they are golden and crispy. Season with a little dusting of sea salt and extra Parmesan cheese and serve.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and either grease a cookie pan or cover it with tin foil. Mix together the chopped apples, brown sugar, and melted margarine. Set aside. Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash cut side down on the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Turn squash right side up and fill each half with apple mixture. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender. For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts to apple mixture (nutritional info does not include walnuts).
