PW-- her show is terrible, but she has a couple of fatty winners on recipes. The lasagna is one. The steak with blue cheese onion sauce is another.

Ugh....wish she would disappear! Her food/recipes are disgusting.

Did you know she has a show now on food network? No idea if it is new but I caught it this weekend. She was making apple brown betty with like 16 tablespoons of butter. Maybe she wants to endorse diabetes products with Paula Deen.

Cheese, cheese, cheese! I've made it with beef, and it's great that way, too (and even more caloric!).

I made this for the first time a few weeks ago and it was excellent! I used half turkey sausage and half ground turkey. I also substituted boursin (an herb/garlic cream cheese spread) for the goat cheese.

Seriously? Her recipes are guaranteed failures, and unattributed, to boot.

Don't laugh, but I just make the one on the back of the Barilla box.

The only difference is that before browning, I season the meat with 1 to 2 tsps of basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Once the meats browned I taste it and adjust the seasonings. I drain the meat, fry 1 to 3 tsps of minced garlic (about 2 to 6 fresh cloves, DH loves garlic) in the same pan I cooked the meat in, then add the marinara sauce and the meat back to it and simmer like normal.

This is the regular, not the no boil noodles btw. I still don't boil them: Instead I make sure that every inch of noodle is covered with sauce and bake it for 45 to 60 minutes instead of the 30 minutes I would if I weren't so lazy and boiled my noodles.

I said "beef" above, but I meant "pork sausage."

I don't know if your kid would eat this, but why not google a white vegetable lasagna with a bechamel sauce. Does your kid like mushrooms? Obviously, use full fat cheeses. If you already know how to make a basic lasagna, you can pretty much follow the basic model and add anything you want to it. You can make a lasagna with bacon and sausage if you wish.GL-I LOVE lasagna and while it is somewhat labor intensive (although I always use no-boil noodles), it's fun to make.

The richer and heavier the better! Trying to add extra cals to my low-percentile kiddo's diet.

Thanks!
