Vegetable Lasagna Recipe
Alright, let’s just get this out of the way before we get into the recipe: this is not a pretty meal. You know what I mean, it doesn’t photograph as beautifully as the White Chocolate Loaf, but I swear – it’s damn good. In fact, to quote my husband, “This is the best meal you’ve ever made!” While both my husband and I enjoy cooking, at the end of a busy day sometimes it’s the last thing I want to do. Some weeks are just hectic, and thinking about breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals just is the last priority. During these weeks, I tend to stick to easy casserole-style meals. I personally love casserole-style meals (like today’s Vegetable Lasagna Recipe) because they give you lots of leftovers to use for future meals.
