Mmmm Monday: White Lasagne

So I really think it's a good thing I don't come up with any of these recipes. I find them from friends who cook well or bloggers or good ole allrecipes.com.  I love trying new recipes, but I rarely find ones that I LOVE. The ones my family loves, I feel comfortable sharing on the blog.

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!

  1. 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
