Lazy Lasagna

Tuesday, June 1, 2010

I hated lasagna when I was little. It always had gross veggies and chunky stuff in it that I couldn’t identify and therefore would not eat (I was The Picky Eater, remember?). As I grew up, and got braver, I eventually learned that I actually love lasagna. It’s still a little intimidating, though. I mean, ...
