Fabulous Friday Food: You Don't Have to Do It All
/
Happy Friday, friends!
I've had a busy week, thus, no posting.
I was out of town at the Allume conference last week. SO GOOD! And then I came back to the usual stuff--classes, college group dinner, a concert at the high school.
Oh, and I'm painting our guest room. Because my college roommate is coming next week (yea!) and that bedroom needs redecorating.
So, even though I do love to cook, some weeks I just don't have the time.
Maybe you've had a busy week, too. Maybe you've dealt with kids or crises or just Halloween costumes, which used to send me right over the EDGE I tell you. (I'm not a very creative mom, and when it comes to creating costumes . . . UGH . . . I'm the worst!)
Anyway, when those busy weeks come, sometimes it's nice to get a little help. Because you know you don't have to make everything from scratch, right?
A couple of weeks ago I was wandering through Williams-Sonoma, my happy place, and saw this sauce-in-a-jar.
Along with it was a recipe for Pumpkin Lasagna with Fontina. Are you kidding me?! Pumpkin, pasta, and fontina cheese all wrapped into one delicious dish?
Count me in!
So I bought a jar. Yes, they got me. Yes, it's expensive. And, yes, it took a little time.
But, by golly, it was worth it.
Totally.
So I went home and made this beautiful lasagna.
I followed the recipe exactly as it was given to me on the Williams-Sonoma website, and my lasagna turned out pretty much like this.
Plus it was delicious.
Looking for something special to serve to friends this fall? Try this one.
Because you don't have to do it all.
[P.S. Williams-Sonoma did not pay me to advertise for them. I just really liked the lasagna I made!]
