Audrey. Recipes for meat-eaters

[Guest guest]

I used to make a vegetable lasagna and bring it to my friends when they came

home from the hospital after having a baby, this way they had something they

could just put in the oven and reheat. I would also bring Parmesan cheese

and some breadsticks.

I'm so sorry about your friend, hope she is better soon.

Go to the pasta folder and look inside for the lasagna folder. When I log in

I will try to remember to repost a few great recipes from the files for you.

Great ideas from Laura and Donna, thanks! My best friend was in a car

accident on Monday and broke her shoulder (well, her humerus, but right at

the shoulder, all the way through, she was miserable til they did surgery

last night). She's on huge doses of pain killers (which she's allergic to

and aren't doing her much good anyway) so she doesn't feel like eating.

 

She's willing to try anything, but her husband doesn't think vegetables

constitute a meal. He's a really nice guy and would eat it anyway, but I

want to make something he'll eat, too. Veggie lasagna sounds great, but

I have to experiment with that first. I make great baked macaroni and

cheese, I think I'll do that.

 

Laura, you're telling me -- I live in Kansas City, a steak and barbecue town

if there ever was one!
