Chicken Lasagna


These past couple weeks have been more hungry, more confusing. I'm finding myself throwing together what I can from the fridge because I don't feel like eating out, I don't feel like going to Portland, I don't feel like eating pasta, sandwiches, rice, I don't feel like anything! but I sure am hungry. If you knew me, my #1 top eaters/chums, Lambchops and Cheesecake and I usually determine what we want to eat based on what we're craving. This was an odd way of eating for Mr. G but he loves it now. Whether it is my friends, or him, a conversation starter seems to always be like this:

Did you eat yet?
So what do you want to eat?
What do you feel like?
Omg I really want...

Thanks to food blogs and food porn, it helps me determine what I want to eat. But not today... not today... Usually when I have no clue what's for dinner, I turn to spaghetti with tomato sauce, but I've been feeling a little bored with my tomato sauce. So I decided I wanted to try a recipe from Barefoot Contessa, her turkey lasagna. I had most of the ingredients on hand, except for the cheeses and the meat so I headed out to New Seasons, my absolute favorite non-Asian market.

I saved you some time, here's the link: Food Network and thanks to Ina Garten for making this recipe. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd copy and paste the recipe, but I am lazy.


I didn't have all the ingredients for the lasagna, like the mozzarella cheese or parsley. As you can see, I also ran out of parmesan cheese, which makes the lasagna look pretty depressing. So I tried to make things better by dabbing goat cheese here and there. Still looked depressing. But it still tasted damn good.


Oh yeah, I also baked it 3 hours ahead, and let it sit until 45 minutes before we actually ate, I warmed it up in the oven again because I'm weird. Plus the lasagna tastes so much better the longer it sits. I like next day pizzas and pastas, including this one.
