Yesterday the parentals came over for dinner! I jazzed the place up with some flowers and made a crock pot lasagna (from pinterest of course!) The recipe was SO easy! Check it out here!
I made a few adjustments: I had left over spaghetti sauce in the freezer so I pulled that out to save the making of the sauce step. I tried to cut the portions in half but kinda guessed on the cheeses. I gave it a good 4-5 layers? Gluten Free noodles for the win too just for my momma! Had trouble finding those at Walmart and Publix so I ended up at a local health food store in the area. Maybe I would have more success not on a Saturday (the seemingly most shopped grocery day of the week).
I even made a dessert: white chocolate chip macadmia nut cookies. Yes, it's macadamIA not macadmion like I thought. My parents had gotten me some Hawaiian macadamia nuts when they went to celebrate my mom's big birthday. My daddy fulfilled a childhood and life long dream of hers to visit the islands! This recipe I found was delicious! It was very easy and I love that both recipes didn't require a ton of ingredients. I had most of them already so didn't have to buy too much! I did leave out the nuts for the first batch just for the boyfriend (he doesn't like nuts so I eat them instead because I certainly LOVE them!!)
The boyfriend couldn't believe I made them, they were that delightful! Let's just say that I had trouble making brownies when he was around and we were first dating so now he doubts my skill!
The parentals said both recipes were pinterest successes and even wanted to come try my recipes every week!
Note: the bananas in the pic are to encourage me to keep making my smoothies! No pics of the lasagna...it looked a little crispy and like what you'd imagine. Not the most attractive dish in the world but certainly tasty, quick and easy!!!
Still gotta look for some doggie articles like maybe about how to train dogs to be quiet when they shouldn't be barking. I've tried the 'leave it' command and some other things but it's getting tricky!
Well what do you think, pinterest success or fail???
