Vegetarian Lasgana
:: VEGETARIAN LASAGNA ::
“Meatless Monday” anyone? I’m not sure about you…. but I’m always looking for a new vegetarian option that’s family friendly. I was attracted to this recipe from Trisha Yearwood because the use of cashews, tofu and fresh basil to create a ricotta-like mixture sounded delicious… and unique! The recipe also called for black beans in place of a meat mixture. Yum!
Of course, like with any recipe, I made some changes after reading the reviews. It turned out super tasty, and also made for great leftovers {which I’m not usually a fan of}! After the recipe {shown below} I listed a few pointers, as well as, additional ingredients you might like to incorporate to make this lasagna recipe tailored to fit your family!
Egg-in-a-Hole
My kids and I have a secret obsession….. it’s watching the Food Network’s cooking shows! We don’t turn the television on during the week {because we’ve learned we never get homework done otherwise}, but when the weekend strikes… the kids and I do love a little downtime watching a few of our favorites together…. especially the Pioneer Woman, the Barefoot Contessa, and Trisha’s Southern Kitchen {or Ree, Ina & Trisha… as we call them around here}! This recipe is one that I recently tried out from Ree {the Pioneer Woman}. I decided to be a loving wife and make Husby a little breakfast upon coming home from a 48-hour shift at the fire station. I am actually allergic to eggs… so I was not able to sample the dish, but I will say that it smelled heavenly… and Husby did devour two pieces and said he thinks it’s even better than FRENCH TOAST!!
Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
Who doesn’t like Chicken Pot Pie?
This recipe is easy and is one of the most requested by my husband.
I would classify it as a semi-homemade but it tastes as though you
have worked on this meal for hours.
I actually must give my Mom credit for this meal.
With 5 girls to feed, my Mom thrived on making meals that had a few shortcuts.
I think it helped with shortening her time in the kitchen, as well as allowing
us girls to help her cook dinner.
It was the perfect learning experience and introduction to cooking as a kid.
This pie can be changed to your liking with the addition of different veggies and/or meat.
The Chicken Pot Pie Recipe that I have detailed below, is the quickest version of this meal.
Using a rotisserie chicken, Pillsbury Pie Crusts {my absolute favorite pie crusts},
and frozen vegetables allows for this hearty meal to be made in half the time!
Perfect for that busy weeknight meal or when you have some unexpected guests!

Strawberry Muffins
Fresh strawberries are now in season and are in abundance in our local markets.
Husby recently picked up a ton of the sweet, red fruit,
so I had some extras on hand to get creative with.
We happen to LOVE muffins in our house.
Of course, we love all other baked goods, too…
but I tend to make muffins nearly every week
for a good after school treat or to throw into the kids packed lunches
{they just seem healthier, so I don’t feel as guilty}!
Raspberry Swirl Rolls
Raspberry Swirl Rolls was one of my Pinterest inspirational pins.
It was a pin that was so beautiful, that I had to make them.
The result was a heavenly creation that was made possible by the in season
California raspberry.
I believe these are my new favorite brunch time dessert.
