We tried this yummy recipe this week and had mixed reactions. The younger generally don’t like any type of lasagna. Ethan pushed the noodles aside and ate the inside. Emma took one bite and refused. Josh doesn’t like cheese, so he gagged a few bites down and walked away. Kaytlin, myself and my husband enjoy lasagna and cheese… and loved this recipe. The only thing I would change is to maybe add some garlic and maybe some mushrooms. … [Read more...]

I never realized how much fun adding a board and some dice to my cards could be. After we got married we slowly began to collect games at garage sales and thrift stores. We were poor college students and board games were our main form of entertainment. We have an entire wall in the garage … [Read more...]
