Here is our new series “Let’s Cook it ourselves ” Once a week, we will post a new recipe for you to try at home

Eggplant Pizza courtesy of Marketgrow.com

Eggplant Pizza offers a delightful twist on traditional pizza by using thick slices of eggplant as the base instead of dough, making it a low-carb, gluten-free option that’s both nutritious and satisfying. These mini pizzas are topped with savory tomato sauce, a sprinkle of cheese, and customizable toppings such as pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers. Baked until the cheese is melty and the eggplant is tender, this dish is perfect for a healthy, quick meal or a fun, versatile appetizer that everyone can enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large eggplant, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • Salt, to draw out moisture
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Assorted toppings: pepperoni, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prep eggplant: Salt both sides of the eggplant slices and let sit for about 20 minutes. Pat dry.
  2. Cook eggplant: Brush both sides with olive oil and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
  3. Add toppings: Top each slice with tomato sauce, cheese, and other toppings.
  4. Bake: Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
  5. Garnish and serve: Add fresh basil and serve warm.

Enjoy your Eggplant Pizza as a healthy alternative that brings a fresh approach to a classic favorite!

A Friend Remembers His Lifelong Friends on Memorial Day, May 25th, 2026

Pavers at Vietnam Veterans tribute in Pershing Field Jersey City

On Memorial Day, May 25th, 2026, as a Vietnam Era Veteran, I was proud to attend the 2026 Memorial Day event at Pershing Field in Jersey City, invited by a friend of 50 years, Thomas Murphy, the event , honored Vietnam Veterans who died in action and Veteran casualties who lost their lives from service -related illnesses after returning home from Vietnam.

This event was special to me because childhood friends of Murphy, were also my High school friends. Murphy worked diligently, to have their names added to the pavers.

Our friends being honored that day, John Whalen, Robert Postel, and Patrick Downes.

Their names were placed into the Hidden Casualties of War pavers that now reside with the name of Frances Dolan, another friend of ours which Murphy, placed years ago.

All four of their names, Dolan, Whalen, Postel and Downes sit across from The Jersey City Vietnam Veterans Memorial that also lists another of Murphy and my friends, Michael Majeski killed in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive.

The event was moving with Billy Joel’s song “Goodbye Saigon” playing on a loud- speaker, and roses being placed on the memorials by willing participants in attendance. There were speeches by Jersey City Mayor James Solomon , Former Freeholder Anthony Romano of Hoboken and Murphy, who fondly remembered our friends, and himself as the Hamilton Park Boys, Hamilton Park in downtown Jersey City, an area they frequented in their youth .

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Committee, President John Stanton acted as Master of Ceremonies to the event.
