It may have taken us 3 1/2 hours, and I may never attempt such an ambitious recipe again, but Maria and I are claiming kitchen warrior status for the homemade lasagna we made for our men last night! Here is a link to the recipe http://mylasagnarecipe.com/ Let's just say it involved us cutting up fresh basil leaves, grating a pound a real mozzarella, and throwing in spices I've never cooked with, like fennel seed. Oh yeah, we are hard core!!! (all you REAL hard core chefs are like, "aw, cute, Becca thinks she can cook now... bless her heart") But seriously! We felt so accomplished! (Of course, I think it would've taken me 5 hours without Maria and I probably would've had a meltdown somewhere in the middle) Still, I'm patting myself on the back for trying something new. I'd also like to mention that we made homemade bread rolls, fresh green beans, and a strawberry poppyseed salad for extra credit. Our men were quite appropriately blown away, and I'm giving myself the weekend off cooking because I EARNED it! : )

Way to go Becca! So did it taste good?
Well, not to brag or anything but it was pretty much the most delicious lasagna I've ever tasted! Maybe I was just biased since I had poured so much effort into it, but it did taste really good : )
Holy crap sis!
Does THAT fit in a "flat rate box"?
(Thanks again by the way to everyone for the birthday care package!)
Man that looks good! I am totally impressed. I still have to conquer the homemade lasagna. Haven't even attempted it yet. :) Props to you!
Yummo!! Becca I think I'll fly out to Minnesota just so I can taste your home cookin'!!!
Seriously Becca... we have MAD SKILLS! GO US!! We are now officially crowned 'Chefs' :D Patrick ate the last bit of left-overs tonight (yes...it was one of those leftovers that you try to stretch out as long as you can to the last little bite ;) ) and even with the dirty lasagna dish sitting on my counter, I still feel so accomplished. It was the yummiest lasagna I've ever had... and I'm not being bias (or at least trying not to be!). Thanks for letting me hangout all afternoon and dirty your kitchen -- I seriously had a great time -- you are so fun to be around! Can't wait 'til next time we get to bust out our mad team cooking skills :)
