Leave it Better than you Found it
There is nothing like falling asleep inside a cozy sleeping bag with the sound of a babbling stream in the background, and the smell of campfire still lingering on your clothes and in your hair. You know you’ll be awake far too early as the morning’s first light warns you to vacate the tent before it becomes an oven full of human pigs in blankets. Some of my fondest memories of growing up are from camping, and now that I’m a mother I long to share these experiences with my children.

Classic Carrot Cake

So in the hopes that I can make Lasagna lovers out of you all I’m gonna share the recipe. When I make Lasagna I use two 13x9x2 in. baking dishes and make two lasagna’s so I can cook one and freeze one for a later time. So if you do not want two Lasagnas you will need to half this recipe. Here’s what you’ll need… 4 lbs. ground beef (I like to use ground chuck) 1 lb. Italian Sausage…
