Serious Cooking

Tonight I wanted to some cooking for the week. This way I can warm-up meals in-between class and homework. I wanted to give you some insight on my cooking experience. I  just finished grocery shopping and to say the least, I'm not an expert yet. I am planning to make lasagna and a breakfast casserole  Before leaving the store, I realized I forgot lasagna noodles! Oh my goodness!

So now that I have my noodles, I believe I'm ready. I'm set with olive oil, a hot pad, and garlic... oh can't forget some help from Pinterest! This is what every Italian cook needs, right? Possibly it's true -they don't need the family recipe or the saint for cooking -they use Pinterest!

Well, I've done the the prep... meat is steaming the sauce until the noodles are finished and then I'm ready to layer... I can't believe I'm actually cooking. Now fingers crossed that it is good! I guess the only reason I would need fingers crossed is because I tend to break rules. Not usually in school, but in life... like following a recipe. Didn't happen. I put a little of this and a little of that and I did this before I was suppose to... So, we will see if it's good.

The verdict is in.... Not too shabby. I thought it would be better but it was too juicy. I think it needed some tomato paste. Next time I'll try again. Here is a picture of the piece I had for dinner...
