I've said before and I'll say it again. I'm NOT a cook. I can bake but cooking is a skill I never picked up but every now and then I get a bug up my ass and give it a go. I made this, it was easier than I thought it would be, no one died and I didn't burn down the house. Oh and it was edible... like crazy GOOD edible!!!
This a Pioneer Woman recipe and I followed it, mostly. I have to follow recipes, I'm just not good and a dash here and a dash there kinda stuff. So I freaked when I realized we didn't have any dried basil. I improvised and used some Italian stuff that had basil in it and oregano so I took a chance. Turns out it worked!!
Let me give you the Dried-on Milk version of making PW's lasagna... Pioneer Woman, I am not.
Start by trying to figure out how to get a thingy of garlic open to get to the cloves.
Have no clue, so smash with hand. Garlic goes everywhere but success getting to the cloves.
Bonus points for even knowing what a clove is.
Start browning meat. Another bonus point for knowing HOW to brown meat.
Use squirty thing to drain fat and successfully squirt the fat all over an important receipt.
Make the meat, tomatoes, garlic and herbs behave and cook nicely.
Be sure to make a mess on the cook top.
Shoo children out of the kitchen for the umpteenth time.
MAMA'S COOKIN', BITCHES! GIT!
Shake up bottle of parmesan cheese. Realize too late, the lid is partially open.
Take picture of mostly, cleaned up floor with a wad of cat hair and grass, for yet another bonus point.
Be confused why there are eggs in lasagna but don't question it, just go with the recipe.
Start layering and burn the shit out of your fingertips while you lay down the hot noodles.
Let boy child play in the revolving thingy.
Realize that was a bad idea, deduct 2 points.
