Lasagna...Remember, Make Two

I have been deep in holiday baking.  The week of Thanksgiving I made 29 pies, 12 loaves of pumpkin bread, 24 pumpkin ginger spice cupcakes...oh, and then I made all of Thanksgiving dinner...

I am tired, but I am doing what I love.  My holiday wish for all of you is that you too are doing what you love.

(And I am pretty sure that everyone over the age of 25 is tired.)

When we are tired, nothing beats comfort food, unless it is comfort food that you baked a few weeks ago and put in the freezer...especially if it is in a recyclable tin.

So...remember the golden rule that I discussed a few weeks ago, and make this...
