Christmas Reflection

C.K. . family . food . motherhood

Dec. 27th… This may turn into a 2014 reflection. In which case, I apologize in advance for the long-windedness and waxing sentimentality. This post will also be rambling and slightly incoherent. It’s 6:02 here in Austin. I’ve been up since 4:09 when my 4yo Jackson busted in our room in tears because he had a Read More

Turkey Lasagna

food

*adapted from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network. Ina Garten is a genius. I watch her show all the time. Her recipes are simple, classic, and delicious. The photography on the show is exquisite as well. Very bright (great for food). Very clear. Lots of extreme close-ups. I highly recommend her show to any Food Network fan.

What follows is my adaptation of the recipe but the spirit is all Barefoot Contessa. I think you’ll see why I would never be good at writing cookbooks. You can see her recipe here at Food Network dot com.
