Grilled Eggplant

Yikers, I know it' been quite a while, and I was kind of running around like crazy the last 2 weeks or so trying to get ready for our Cape Cod trip! I am back now, with some fresh groceries, so I should be back on a regular basis!
Tonight we decided to do some grilled chicken with grilled eggplant, which I topped with marinara. This isn't really a recipe as much as a method. Hope everyone enjoys!

Grilled Eggplant Marinara

Roasted Eggplant Hummus

I buy hummus often because it makes for a great dip and sandwich spread and I don't always feel like lugging the food processor out, making it, cleaning it and then putting it away. When I just wrote that, I realize how lazy that makes me sound.... but really, it's stowed away in an annoying spot that I have to move things around to get to it because I have no counter space. This is my relationship with most of my kitchen. So anyway, in yet another box of fresh vegetables given to us(I love summer-and friends with gardens!) was a lone eggplant. Previously, I had seen eggplant hummus at the store. Then, the light bulb went off in my head: "I can make that!"
