Traditional Beef and Cheese Lasagna

This Traditional Beef and Cheese Lasagna reminds me of something my Mother use to make me.

This is more of a traditional recipe for Italian lasagna and is my all time favorite way to make homemade lasagna hands down.

Good food that lasts until next day was always something my Mother aims for.

And this recipe is one of those dishes!

HOW TO MAKE LASAGNA RECIPE

First you will want to get your hands on some fresh basil for this lasagna, along with the right types of cheeses.
All which is very important in making a traditional lasagna.
For the cheeses you will want are Ricotta, Fresh Mozzarella and some Edam cheese.
The Edam cheese will give this lasagna it’s nice crust.
Also Ricotta cheese for the inside works so good.

CAN LASAGNA BE MADE WITHOUTH RICOTTA CHEESE

Yes, you can substitute for cottage cheese if you like. It is just not as traditional!

WILL LASAGNA NOODLES COOK IN THE OVEN

Yes, but you must pre cook them on the stove top first in boiling water.

Then lay place them in layers between the sauce and cheese and hamburger before baking.

This will in turn leave you will a moist yet firm and perfectly browned lasagna.

That is sure to impress even the pickets of lasagna eaters.

Give it a try and let me know what you think 🙂

Check out how perfect this Lasagna turned out.

The crust is browned to perfection!

And the cheese is oozing from everywhere, that is a perfect Lasagna to me.

Serve this Lasagna alongside a Homemade Cesar Salad with Dressing.

And you will be eating like the Italians in Provence!

Chocolate Chunk Nut Banana Bread

I have been told on numerous occasions that my Chocolate Chunk Nut Banana bread is Amazing. I will let you be the decider on that though!

This bread is kind of like eating a cake and a cookie all at once, but way more healthier than a cake or cookie.

Because are omitting the oil and using 3 ripe Bananas (the riper the better) + Macadamia & Walnut pieces that makes this a very nutritious and satisfying snack.

Soft and Moist on the inside, and slightly crunchy on the outside. This is the stuff dreams are made of if you ask me 🙂 I hope you give it a try!

Note: You can substitute chopped pecans, hazelnuts or almonds if you prefer.

Rustic Cherry (Galette) pie

Leave a comment

I absolutely love cherries and come summer when they are in season and ripe, I like to eat them by the dozen. I’m always finding new ways to cook with them too, however if it’s not summer you can always buy them pre pitted and frozen in your local grocer and make this type of gallette at home.

If you have never made a galette which is a term used in French cuisine to designate various types of flat round or freeform crusty cakes.

Then you are in for a treat, this pie is so easy to make. You are just filling and folding over to create the most delicious dessert, without all the hassle of a typical pie. I like to make this when we go camping, as it can be cooked over the open flame or on a camp stove.

You can also make this at home if you prefer in the oven, just make sure you have pre pitted cherries and pre frozen butter puff pastry prior to your camping trip otherwise pitting cherries or making pie crust from scratch when camping is no fun.

Then simply allow it to caramelizes over open fire, once cooked drizzle some Maple Syrup over top to sweeten and eat it right from the tin pan. Clean up is a cinch because you will simply toss the tinfoil pie shells in a sealed garbage and then can sit back and watch the fire roar.

Give it a try, I would love to know if you will try it camping or prefer this sweet treat at home.

Note: If you’re camping and preparing this in bear country, take appropriate precautions to keep your campsite as unattractive to bears as possible. To do this simply purchase and properly use a bear-proof garbage container or ensure all your garage is placed in a sealed bin in your vehicle or at a designated dump once your done cooking, this helps keep our wildlife safe and you as well.
