My confession: Yesterday, I MESSED UP hard boiled eggs. Our thrifty lunch of egg salad on toasted (aka: OLD) bread turned into....re-doing the eggs, peeling warm eggs (it takes FOREVER) and then realizing the yolks STILL weren't cooked enough. EW. Now, We have a dozen hard boiled egg whites--for Cobb salad tomorrow, I guess!? YIKES! Bad day!

With that said, this recipe is NOT from me! My friend Katie made this awesome White Lasagne. She got her recipe from a site called recipecan. I've made this before and loved it. We will make it this week too. I love using the veggies I have available and that my family loves. A flexible recipe makes mama happy! Thanks to recipecan.com for feeding my family this week!

Directions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook noodles according to package.

When I first was learning to cook it was aweful-- no one told me how long you boil them-- they blew up in the pan-- OMG they smelled bad,and egg stuff everywhere.. I have come a long ways from that point.All In learning I guess. Well, I do need to make this because it really sounds good.Thanks
