We are having a few cold days before it jumps back up again. I don't like the up and down. The weather gods do not care about what I like nor do not like. Meanies. We did have light snow overnight. Winter is my favorite food time of the year, so I will be posting too many photos.
A friend made Giada De Laurentiis' sheet pan lasagna and told me he liked it. I decided to give it a try. I recommend it, it's simple and fast to put together and only takes about thirty minutes in a hot oven to bake. It can be prepped ahead of time, which I did, making dinner ready in a half hour. I used no boil lasagna noodles and didn't bother wilting the spinach, the heat and steam in the oven does that just fine. Give it a try.
Yesterday was an errand day. I ordered and picked up groceries. Mark took my truck into the tire place. It has dual rear tires and needs to be taken in periodically to check air pressure. The outside rear tire has to be removed to get to the inside tire. It's well worth having the experts do this.
We are both trying to live in the moment, not thinking beyond now. For good reason.
How many layers of noodles did you use? Good idea!!!
ReplyDeleteOne box, Lori. You break them into pieces. https://giadzy.com/blogs/recipes/sheet-pan-layerless-lasagna?
DeleteThe lasagna looks delicious. I have some no bake noodles. I wonder if I could use frozen spinach. I am trying to clean out the freezer. This might be just the ticket!
ReplyDeleteMy friend used frozen spinach, just squeezed out the water, Miss Merry. It's quite good.
DeleteI made a budget version, using what I happened to have! I used up the last few noodles in the box, high time, they were practically antiques. All in my little glass pan that fits in the toaster oven. Thanks for the idea. Mine made two helpings.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy and good, isn't it, Boud. I also had antique noodles, imagine that!
DeleteI also do not like it when the weather is up & down like a yoyo also I do like lasagna but have never made it
ReplyDeleteLasagna is easy to make, Jo-Anne, but time consuming. This method cuts down the time by a lot.
DeleteThe food looks good. These days are weirdly foggy right now. I don't remember this from other years.
ReplyDeleteThings are changing, AC. We have enough left for several meals.
DeleteLooks good but neither of us like ricotta...so we use Mozzarella :0 Real cold out today -40 windchills they say...I am not going out to find out. Tomorrow is soon enough for me.
ReplyDeleteMozzarella works, Far Side! We are currently -6 F this morning.
DeleteI've done something similar. I can do lasagna!
ReplyDeleteIt is good, Val.
DeleteWe're back to cold (-2 right now with -23 wind chill at 4pm) and aren't expecting any real warm up any time soon, I guess. Wonderful weather for lasagna!! Yummmm! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's minus 6 this morning, Rita. We will be a bit warmer tomorrow.
DeleteNever own a truck with duel wheels.
ReplyDeleteDuallies are great for hauling a horse trailer, Dora.
DeleteThat looks like a great dish for cold weather.❤️
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Cheerful.
DeleteThat lasagna looks delicious. And living in the moment sounds like the wise course now. None of us really knows what’s coming.
ReplyDeleteIt is delicious. No, we don't know, the moment is all there really is that we do know for certain. I'm getting philosophical.
DeleteThis looks great~thank you! Are you feeling okay?
ReplyDeleteI'm ok, e. Thanks for asking. The daily bombardment of chaos is wearing on me, as it is so many. One foot in front of the other.
