Two recipes in a day?? ALRIGHT. As the title suggests, I made a lasagna tonight. I followed a recipe (of course), but now that I know basically what's in it and the baking temp and all the particulars, I would say I could come up with one on my own. I will definitely let you know how it goes. Anyhow, here's what went down.
