Traditional Lasagna

Who doesn't love a good old traditional home made lasagna?! I've always found them to be somewhat time consuming or overwhelming to make, but not any more! Please feel free to visit my review of Olivieri Whole Grain Lasagna Sheets over at Multi-Testing Mommy!

Family Thoughts

I have relatively picky eaters in my family, hubby included! This dish didn't go over so well with the children, even though the last time we ate lasagna, they both couldn't get enough, however that was a year ago! A lot can change.

For my husband, he couldn't get enough of this delicious dish and neither could I. I thought we would be able to freeze some, but we ended up eating it for left overs twice!
