My FIRST Homemade Lasagna!!!

Joe and I LOVE lasagna...probably not the best for us, but it's great!!  We usually just buy a small frozen lasagna, since there is only two of us!  I have wanted to make a homemade lasagna though.  I finally got the chance to!  We had a girl from Joe's mission and her fiance over last Wednesday and we decided to make lasagna!  My mom used a lasagna recipe one time a few years ago when she came to Rexburg and I kept it.  It is one AMAZING lasagna recipe, so we use it! 

Once we started eating it I realized why I love homemade lasagna!  We'll need to make it more often!!!

The recipe can be found here.

Or here it is!!
