Many of us try to keep a healthy lifestyle at home. Part of this lifestyle includes preparing your meals, perhaps going to the farmers market and an exercise activity. 

When we travel it’s hard to stay on track.   My husband and I travel often and when we have a few days of eating on the run or choosing food that makes us not feel so well after doesn’t make traveling fun.

We love the BVI and have chartered a Yacht and a Catamaran.  The first time we were on the Yacht there was a captain and both my husband and I were not a fan of the food that was prepared.  Therefore, the next time we decided to do it again I was the Chef.  We had an amazing captain and I learned a lot about what do cook and what not to cook.

I get a lot of questions regarding grilling eggplant.  I can relate to grilling any vegetables.  You buy the perfect eggplant and when you grill it part of it burns and gets crispy which was not the plan then you get discouraged. Especially when you want it for a vegetable salad or that perfect recipe you wanted to try for company.  Here are my tips to ensure your eggplant will grill perfect every time!
