We have a lasagna recipe that we always use for Pot Luck night and also whenever it calls for a lasagna (especially when the whole family get together!)


This recipe was adapted from George on Masterchef. His recipe was alot of work but we loved the flavours so we make our own version!

Ingredients:
Bolognaise:
Splash of Olive Oil
500grms Premium Beef
1 Onion
1 Carrot, grated
2 Celery Sticks, diced
1 cup Frozen Peas and Corn
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 button mushrooms, diced
1 Jar of Bolognaise Sauce (or make your own – )
Fresh Basil and Oregano
Paprika to taste
1/4 cup Worcester Sauce (or to taste)
Pepper to taste

Fresh Lasagna sheets (to make them easier to handle heat in microwave for 30seconds)
1 Jar of Bechamel Sauce (or make your own – recipe to come)
5 Hard Boiled Eggs, sliced
1 packet of Prosciutto
1 packet of Baby Mozzarella
1 cup Cheddar Cheese

Instructions:
Hard boil eggs in a pot, allow to cool to peel easier.
In large frying pan (or pot) brown mince in olive oil, remove from pan and use a strainer drain into a bowl, set aside. 
Fry onion and carrots in pan until soft. 
Add mince to pan, reheat.
Add garlic, peas and corn and mushrooms
Add jar of Bolognaise sauce, once bubbling add basil, oregano, paprika, Worcester sauce and pepper to taste.
Bring to boil then simmer for 20 minutes.
Heat oven at 180 degrees
Lay Lasagna sheets into lasagna dish (rectangle glass dish is best)
Place some bolognaise over lasagna sheets
Lay sliced egg, prosciutto, mozzarella over bolognaise.
Spread Bechamel Sauce over and repeat 3 – 4 times.
Last layer of lasagna place Bechamel Sauce on top then spread over Cheddar Cheese.

Bake in oven for 40 minutes.
Serve with home made . 

I took this one to my Mother-In-Laws for Sunday night dinner :)

Today I am showing MissC’s snack box and lunch we had yesterday.
MissC snacked on her snack box throughout the morning.
I find this stops her asking for food every 10 minutes. She know’s once its gone thats it until Lunchtime!
In the afternoon she has an apple and fresh popped popcorn.

Snackbox: Carrots, Celery, Prezels, Organic Puffs, Raisins and 2 Tic Toc Biscuits.
Lunch: Sausage (skin taken off) in a Blanket, Pasta and Carrots
(The carrot is the other half of the one she had this morning).

I had to make one for my own lunch! Brought back childhood family bbq memories!!
I think the last time I had a sausage in bread with butter and tomato sauce I was probably about 12!
And it was as delicious as I remembered!!!

When was the last time you indulged in a Sausage in a Blanket!?

Stuck inside the house today as it is FREEEZING in Perth today and we can not leave the house due to our Driveway has finally been concreted.. (only ways in and out have both been concreted). Stuck inside for 24hrs (not too bad really).. luckily I had been to the shops yesterday and picked up extra milk!!

Today’s lunch I decided to use these 3D cookie cutters I picked up the other day! I didn’t know how they would work with sandwiches but they turned out pretty cool! I think you could use these for meat, cheese, sandwiches and definitely cookies!

MissC’s lunch today was a Peanut Butter Sandwich, Cheese, Pasta and Carrots with mayo dip.
We made the carrots so it was like a cage and the pasta was ‘food’ for the animals.


MasterS got the leftover sandwich edges, cheese and pasta.






What did your lil ones have for lunch today?
