Spinach Lasagna Rolls

 

Lasagna gets boring after a while – at least it does for me. Not that I eat it all the time. To be completely honest, I keep lasagna noodles at home and have never made traditional lasagna once. I’ve eaten it and my mom used to make it when I was a kid, but I didn’t really venture into making it the traditional way. I just find it boring – layers of cheese, ground beef, tomato sauce and noodles. But for a working mom, it must have been really easy to pull together for her kids. (more…)

Skillet Lasagna

 

Lasagna, comfort food at its finest. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or patience to boil noodles, and then layer and wait for baking time. This week seems to be dragging. Midweek can feel either closer or further away from the weekend, depending on how Monday and Tuesday panned out. This week, Wednesday felt a long way away from Friday. The thought that Friday wouldn’t get here any sooner only made me lazier, not wanting to run errands or tidy around the house. Instead, I started dinner, and curled up with my new favorite app – iBooks. (more…)

Fish Lasagna

Bet you’ve never heard of fish lasagna before this blog post. Well, this isn’t your average red-sauce, ground beef lasagna. It’s so much better. It basically consists of tilapia, lasagna noodles, lots and lots of cheese and a creamy alfredo sauce. This recipe is brought to you by my mother. It’s one of my favorite dishes from home. And I just found out – the day I recreated this dish – that it’s one of my mother’s own creations.
