I had felt a little under the weather last week so I wanted a good soup to eat.  But I had just made chicken noodle soup the week before and wanted something on the broth side.  Tomato soup sounded good but I needed to mix […]

I love lasagna!  Actually I love pasta in general, so lasagna is no exception.  I love all the layers of pasta and cheesy goodness.  But it is such process to make (here is a recipe for a traditional version).  So it’s not something I make […]
