Comfort Food

Growing up I had a favorite dish my mom would make for me. My grandpa's lasagna. We don't know for sure where he got it but the name stuck. When I grew up I insisted that she give me the recipe. I couldn't believe how simple it was! I used to work on a ski resort in Montana called Big Mountain. We had a Superbowl cooking contest that was judged by the ski patrol. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to show off the family recipe. And sure enough I won!

Lately I have been craving it like crazy. I don't make it very often because I'm afraid that if I do it won't be so special anymore. But I think it is time to pull out my little black recipe book where I keep all the family secrets and bake my heart out. I will try to take some pictures of the finished product. And with my mother's permission I will post the recipe too. It is just too good to keep a secret. I think it should be a staple in any mother's arsenal.
