This is my go to recipe for dropping off to friends and neighbors in need.
It seems to be very well liked and can stretch to 2 meals. We use noodles that are not oven ready, and par boil them before use, otherwise we find the lasagna dries out in the time it takes to cook the oven ready noodles.
A thin layer of potatoes over cheese completely transforms this pizza. We have also had excellent results with using a prepared gluten free pizza base, available in health food orientated supermarkets. This is a crowd pleaser, gluten free or not. Pizza can be served warm …
Yummmmm There are a lot of other options for topping this cheesecake, such as fresh fruit. Our family loves passion fruit, and when it is in season in Southern California I make batches of passion fruit coulis to freeze, which we pull out to drizzle …
Our lime and lemonade may be a little more cloudy than you would expect, as we use organic sugar from Costco. Still tastes great.
We use dried chickpeas/garbanzo beans instead of canned, they taste better and don’t have the bpa from cans leaching into them. Leave chick peas soaking overnight and simmer for an hour or so the next day. Freeze any that are leftover for another day. My kids …

This is a great recipe that can served with pasta or as lasagna. Make in bulk as instructed and freeze leftovers for use another day. This is the meat sauce we use in our Lasagna, and one of the reasons we make such a large amount at a time. Makes 15 cups.
The smell of these never fails to wake up any last snoozing members of our household. I have made these in both muffin tins and a ceramic/pyrex dish, or one of each, and found that they were slightly moister in the ceramic dish, but were …

This is a flavorsome potato recipe that works great as a side for most meat dishes, particularly those with a bold flavor.
