Our Garden
This is our first harvest of the season. We have a balcony garden at our condo. It has been a challenge keeping a garden this way but this year so far is good.
They are micro tomatoes but there are MANY more tomatoes still growing. We have flowers on the eggplant plant and cucumber plant. We have TONS of basil and oregano as well. While we got 6 strawberries already, I think the plant will not produce more because of the downpours of rain. Perhaps they were over watered :( .
I am so excited that we are getting fruit/veg this year. Last year was sparse!
Do you have a garden? Where? What are YOU growing?
I will use the micro tomatoes in my beef stew tonight.
Yumeee
Enjoy!!

Ominvore Lasagna
There are quite a few steps in the prep of this but none too hard.
First, (usually the early morning of or day before) Make the gravy. YES, GRAVY. lol Gravy has meat in it.
Ingredients:
1 filet ( or beef of your choosing, stew beef, any steak you wish)
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb pork cubes cut in bite size pieces
1/4 each of sweet and hot sausage of your liking
2 tbsp garlic paste or chopped garlic
2 tbsp basil paste or a heavy dose of dry Italian seasoning
2 tbsp oregano paste (unless u are using Dry seasoning)
salt and pepper to taste
1 medium red onion
olive oil
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce ( I prefer tuttorosso :))
(I also add in meatballs that I had in the freezer)
In a large pot, add olive oil and brown pork cubes and filet( or beef cubes)
Move cubes to crock pot and brown ground beef
Move ground beef to crock and brown sausages
Move sausage to crock and put in meatballs if you are adding them
Add onions, garlic, basil and oregano pastes and salt and pepper to pot
saute until tender crisp
add onions mix into crock
add all tomatoes and stir
Allow to cook in crock for 4-6 hours, adjust flavor as time goes on. TASTE and add any seasoning you think needs to be added.
Day of:
Lasagna filling:
1 lb ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 thin julienned red onion
2 tbsp garlic, basil and oregano paste or good dose of dry seasoning
(any other Veg you wish to add)
olive oil
salt and pepper
1 bag shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh grated Locatelli parm
but two turns of olive oil in the saute pan
add onions, garlic, basil, oregano, salt pepper,and saute for about a minute then:
add carrots
add broccoli
add spinach
saute all veg until tender crisp
remove veg and put into a large bowl to cool.
When cooled, add ricotta and eggs
Mix well
I would also add dry garlic and Italian seasonings at this point too--that's just my preference, decide for you.
FINALLY:
Begin building lasagna
Put a layer of gravy on the bottom minus any meat
put in layer of oven ready noodles (WHAT A GOD SEND)
put a layer of cheese and veg mix
put meat and gravy on top or mix but go easy on the sauce part so its not too watery.
Put a layer of Mozzarella cheese
Put a layer of Parm cheese
continue building layers BUT make sure to end the top layer with parm cheese THEN Mozzarella
Bake in oven for one hour on 375. I like crispy edges so i dont cover mine in foil but if you DONT like crispy edges, cover the pan in foil
Remove from oven and let sit a good five mins before cutting
YUMEEE!!!!
