Last night I decided to try a new recipe for supper, Lazy Bolognese-Style Lasagna. It wasn't too hard to make but I was out of the tomato pasta required and didn't have any white wine or beef broth so I compromised by using tomato sauce for the tomato paste. I read beef broth was a substitute for white wine so I used beef buillon cubes to make the three cups of broth instead of two cups. The same substitute site also told me that the broth could be made with buillon cubes but it would be missing the flavor of the root vegetables such as carrots and onions so instead of frying those vegetables with the ground beef as the recipe calls for, I just added those to the water and buillon cubes. As I've stated before, I'm the queen of tweaking recipes to fit what I have on hand. Either way, I wasn't too keen on the recipe, but Seth, Melanie, and picky Allison LOVED it. Lazy Bolognese-Style Lasagna, the recipe can be found here: http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/lazy-bolognese-style-lasagna/ and there is even a 5 minute video on how to make it. Doesn't get any more simple than that, right?
Today is grocery day so I don't guess we'll be trying a new recipe tonight or even an oldie-but-goodie. Grocery day usually means a free night for me, but more work as I put together the menu for the week and prepare the grocery list according to the menu. Allison is going to a friend's house for a little bit after school so I can't wait for Melanie to get home. Found a cool three mile obstacle course competition for July of next year that I think it would be fun to enter as a mother-daughter event. She's got to stay conditioned for soccer next season so what a fun way to do that by training for this event in August, 2012.
