Day 8 & 9: Lasagna and Quesadillas

This week, we decided to try to make recipes without cheese. Then we gave up. The results were pretty delicious though! First, we made lasagna. Eden bought some oven-ready lasagna that was accompanied by simple instructions on how to bake it, though we left out the meatballs.

As you can see, we had to break the lasagna a little to fit it in the pan, but it still turned out fine! 

The cheese mixtures was pretty easy to make. We ended up not using ricotta as instructed, replacing it with more fresh mozzarella. The mixture also included parmesan cheese and eggs. We halved everything in the recipe, which served 8, while we only needed enough for 3.

We started by covering the bottom of the pan with the same Victoria marinara sauce that we used for the pizza. We then put the strips of lasagna over it, like so:

Then we topped it with the cheese mixture, followed  by three more strips of lasagna, more sauce and plenty of shredded mozzarella.

And so the lasagna was ready for the oven! It took some time to bake, about 35 minutes, and it was still kind of crispy around the edges, possibly because we didn't cover them with sauce. Overall though, we were really happy with the way it came out. Next time, we'll put some vegetables in the lasagna, or maybe even vegetarian "meat" balls.

Here's the final product! Here we were joined by Josh, who was too lazy to actually get his face in this picture. Hi Josh!

Then, we tried our hand at quesadillas. Eden was kind enough to make homemade wheat tortillas. 

We topped them with 'Mexican Cheese' a la Target, and sautéed some tomatoes and green peppers to mix in.

The process was pretty easy. We got everything prepped, cook, and in our stomach within twenty minutes. We put the quesadillas on the stove for about 5 minutes, just enough to get the cheese to melt. Look at Kim flipping!

Comment below if you'd like to see us make anything! We'll be trying out crepes and french toast some time this week!!
