Today I wanted to share a few recipes from a wonderful church cookbook that I got about three years ago. I pull recipes from this book quite often. Most of the recipes are easy to make and low cost. LASAGNA
1 lb. ground beef
2 1/2 T. fresh grated onion
1 1/2 large cans tomatoes mashed well before adding
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 T. chopped parsley (fresh is best)
1 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 lb. grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 lb. grated sharp cheddar cheese
lasagna noodles
Combine cheeses together and set aside. Cook meat in skillet until brown. Meat should be well broken and loose. Stir well, and drain. In large pot add next 9 ingredients to the beef. Simmer this while cooking the noodles. In large pot of boiling, salted water, add enough noodles to cover the bottom of casserole dish to be used. (About 6-7 noodles.) Cook until tender and drain well. Line your baking dish with cooked noodles. Add a layer of the combined cheeses on top. (You may add a layer of ricotta cheese to this, but it is optional.) Then add a layer of meat sauce. Top with remaining cheese mixture. Bake at 325-350 degrees for 40 minutes. Let stand about 20 minutes before serving. Serve with garlic bread and crisp tossed salad.

That lasagna does sound good. I'll have to try it.
Our school doesn't start until August 5th. The same day B. goes back to GL. I can imagine trying to tell A. that I am starting his earlier than hers. I can hear the comments and grouchiness now.
That bananna split dessert sounds wonderful. Thanks.
