Thank you Aila for sharing ’25 things you don’t know about me!’ We love getting to know our class of 2012 Seniors. Enjoy!

The pronunciation of my name is similar to (Eye-luh).

I LOVE Scooby-Doo fruit snacks, Grape G2 and Frosted Mini Wheats!

I drive a silver Jeep Liberty named “Jeepy”.

Grey’s Anatomy is my absolute favorite show.

I am the middle child of five. We all have names starting with vowels.

My favorite movie of all time is The Parent Trap, followed by Titanic.

Sometimes I prefer to listen to classical music (composed by John Williams, of course!) instead of the radio, but I love all kinds of music. Some of my favorite artists are Keith Urban, The Fray, Jon McLaughlin, and Taylor Swift.

I love Oprah Winfrey! I miss her show already.

I don’t like soda.

My toes are double jointed.

I love Summerfest! The food, the music, the people. I go as many days as I can every summer.

Sometimes I wish I was left handed.

I love algebra!

I had to get stitches for the first time on December 28, 2010; the day before my sixteenth birthday.

Washington DC is one of my favorite places to travel to.

I have lived in Wisconsin my entire life and have never been to a Packer game.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Target.

I remember everyone’s birthday.

I love 49 cent cones from McDonald’s!

I love arts and crafts.

I have never moved.

I have a necklace in the shape of a mustache.

My favorite color is purple.

I really, really, really love music. I have been playing my trumpet for almost 8 years, have been singing since I could talk, and took piano lessons when I was younger

I have no idea what my plans are going to be after high school

Learning how to cook with our Class of 2012 Senior, Morgan!

Every once in awhile, my Grandma brings me Bon Appetit magazines. I found this recipe in one and my sister and I decided to make it for my mom for mother’s day. It was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. However, we substituted the grape tomatoes for small heirloom tomatoes. We served it with a French baguette. It’s really very simple to make and turns out great!
Rigatoni with Eggplant and Pine Nut Crunch

INGREDIENTS

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 unpeeled large eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 medium yellow bell peppers, cut into 1/2 inch squares
2 cups grape tomatoes
3 large garlic cloves
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cups (firmly packed) fresh basil
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 28-oz can whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 pound rigatoni
1 pound whole-milk mozzarella, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray, add eggplant and peppers. Cut tomatoes in half length-wise and add to sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Using a garlic press, squeeze one garlic clove over vegetables. Toss mixture together. Roast vegetables until tender, stirring often (about 35 minutes).
Combine 2/3 cup basil, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and 1 garlic clove in a food processor. Blend until crumbly. Top with salt.
Blend tomatoes with juice, cream, 1 1/3 cups basil, and 1 garlic clove in a food processor or blender until smooth. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, drain. Return pasta to pot and toss with sauce, vegetables, and remaining Parmesan cheese. Transfer mixture to a 13x9x2″ baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella and pine nut topping. Bake until heated through and cheese is melted (about 30 minutes).
Let stand 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy! 🙂
