They say when you get married, you not only marry your spouse but you also marry their family and friends. I'm happy to say that I married in to this lasagna. The recipe I'm sharing with you today is for a healthy, veggie-packed lasagna. It is adapted from a recipe I got from a friend of my husband's after we got married. Now, I'm all for a classic rich, meaty, tomato and cheese lasagna but I can't do that all of the time. It's just too much. This lasagna is packed with veggies, cuts down on ...

Grandma’s Peach Cobbler
My grandmother was a quiet woman. She was a thinker, a quiet observer. She was a strong believer at heart and enjoyed having fun with us grandkids. I remember her teaching me how "not to make pancakes" (no measuring involved), and how to pick carrots from their small garden. This peach cobbler recipe somehow made it to me years after she had passed. I don't have any memory of eating it with her in fact. Yet, somehow this recipe snuck up on me like a ninja...silent until one day it hit me! I ...
20 Sensational Summer Desserts
I love dessert. That's no surprise to you, I'm sure. I think I love summer desserts the best! Why? Flavor! Temperature! Fun! I love desserts with fresh fruit favors, and in the summer fruit is at its absolute best! Summer is a great time to break out all of those cold desserts.

I feel as we get into the "holiday season" of fall and winter, our desserts get a little ...
5 Must-Have Kitchen Tools
This week for Foodie Friday, I’m going to talk to you about must-have kitchen tools. Do me a favor, go into your kitchen real quick and open some of the drawers and cabinets and take a quick inventory of what you see. Go ahead, I’ll wait. How full are your drawers and cabinets? Do you have an endless supply of kitchen gadgets? How many things do you need to pull out in order to reach that one thing in the back of the cabinet? Do you have a junk drawer? One of my family’s goals for ...
8 Luscious Lemon Desserts
I love lemon. In fact I “love, love, love” lemon (thank you, Daniel Tiger…). Lemon desserts are the perfect spring or summer sweet treat. Sweet and tangy, these desserts have the perfect balance of flavor. I don’t know about you, but I’m not really a fan of super sweet things (I like to feel like my teeth will remain intact after dessert), so a citrus dessert fits the bill just about any time. I’ve found some luscious lemon desserts to share with you today. Grab a fork (and something to ...
Perfect Roast Chicken
It was a bucket list item last year, learning to roast a chicken. To me, learning to execute a perfect roast chicken meant that I had achieved the next level of adulthood. This recipe is adapted from one by Ina Garten, the queen of the perfect roast chicken. The skin comes out crispy, and the meat is moist. One of the best things about this recipe is the smell in your house while it's cooking! Is your mouth watering yet? Let's get cooking! The Inspired Mrs L is a participant in the Amazon ...
