A big thanks to my good friend Cris at Recipes that Crock for bring us all together for that wonderful retreat. (She is at the bottom the staircase in the picture below.) We all learned so much from each other! All these bloggers have wonderful blogs and Pinterest boards for you to pour over ONCE you finish reading my post of course! (wink wink). We are looking forward to gathering again next month, and I am sure I will have even MORE great recipes and ideas to share with you!
Earlier last week, I made this yummy lasagna based off of Mandy's recipe. I tweaked it here and there to make it satisfy our tastes and what I had in the house. It was delicious! It was also super easy and took very little time to make. I'm not sure why I always think it takes forever to make lasagna. From start to finish, I was pretty much ready to serve this meal in about an hour and a half! I even cooked the noodles!
