I don't claim to be a great cook or to have any original recipes. I love collecting new and interesting recipes and I especially love all my old favorites that I have used over the years. Many recipes are from family and friends and I love them because every time I use them I am reminded of that person and/or some great memories that are attached. I am using this format to begin to put all my recipes in one place. I have attempted this in many different ways but none have been very successful. I am hoping that this will do the trick. Right now for recipes I reference a few different cookbooks, a small 3x5 card box, and a large plastic tub with loose papers. Not a great system. This is my new leaf. Ideally, every day I can put at least one of my recipes into this blog. This will make it so easy and quick for me to refer to and also to share my favorites with friends and family who ask for recipes.

Crockpot Lasagne

It's super easy. I just make a meat sauce (with canned sauce if I am in a hurry), a cheese filling (made with a lrg tub of cottage cheese, egg, italian seasoning, garlic salt, pepper), mozzarella, and whole wheat noodles. I spray my crockpot with pam, and layer in the DRY noodles, meat, cheese, mozzarella and repeat until it is filled and top with cheese. Then I add a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water on the top, depending on how many noodles I put in. Then I put the lid on and let it cook for a couple of hours. Super easy. Yesterday I used some frozen hamburger that I had cooked up with onion. That was even easier. Just defrost enough to mix with the sauce and throw it all together. And because my crockpot is oval shaped I have to break up some of the noodles on the sides.
I have a REALLY good traditional recipe that is super cheesy and loaded. I might have to post that on my blog. It is a little more involved.
