I wanted to use the Le Creuset casserole dish I bought a few weeks ago, and I was craving some yummy lasagna. But, we are trying to cut back on the carbs just a bit, because I could totally eat pasta every day of my life. It's a well known trick that some type of squash can easily be a substitue for pasta in many dishes. So, I made lasagna, but instead of strips of pasta, I used slices of zucchini - it's every bit as good! I served it with Caprese salad, because the heirloom tomatoes in the produce section look awesome (and the season is coming to an end), and my basil in my Aerogarden is so yummy with beautiful tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yummmmm....
While we've been spending the last 2 weeks at my grandparents' house taking care of my grandpa, we had plenty of time to just hang out and be together. My grandmother had a sewing room that could literally reflect the current inventory of Hobby Lobby, so we found ourselves some projects. Mimi used to crochet the edges of these little baby blankets, and she had all the materials for me to make my own. But, before I committed to learning this technique on an entire blanket, I thought I'd make a practice piece. I have now created the fanciest dust cloth ever!
