I love to cook and experimenting with food is always fun. With my youngest son at home and hubby working from home I spend a major part of my day in the kitchen.
It gets boring to make the same things over and over again , so I have been experimenting with stuff. This was Lasagna and pizza rolled into one. I made a huge pizza base, added the rague sauce over it, just threw in all the tomatoes and basil in my garden into this dish. The basil in my garden is growing wild and needed a heavy pruning. I went a bit low on the cheese though.
All the stems of the basil were promptly planted back into the garden. I also added peppermint and oregano which have been growing quite well in my garden into the ragu. The dish came out smelly heavenly and tasted awesome.
The common joke going around in our circles is , how will we get through the door when the lock down is lifted? I guess we are eating way to much right now, over compensating for the lack of other activities.

I have a colleague we work with in a house. We planted mint, parsley and dill. We make a garden. Have you used minced meat, which is a characteristic product of lasagna? I like it when I experiment with food so I get unique dishes.
Yes I did, we had only chicken breast in our freezer, I used that.
What type of meat was used when you cooked this?
I had only chicken so I minced it up and used it.
This looks so delicious! I’d love to plant some oregano and fennel, they are my favorite herbs.
I’d love to plant fennel as well, but it doesn’t grow here. We have a different kind of fennel here.
it is the difficulty of now, isn’t it. I know the last few days we’ve been exhausted and just plopped in front of the TV instead of talking.
I think we are overeating here and possible talking a lot as well. 😀 We don’t watch TV except for the news and sports. Now since there is no Motorsport going on our younger boy talks all the time. Yeah overcompensating in someways.
we i suspect are attempting to adjust. initially, overeating was an issue here as welL!
I try to have a light dinner to compensate.
On most days hubs and I have a salad, but now since our younger son is there I cook a decent meal
My supplies are kind of low right now and I am waiting for funds to come in so I am not making too much. I get by on some sausages for breakfast and eggs and then pasta and so on.
I use what we have here as I don’t want anyone to go out shopping.
I walk around my house, I live in a rural area and my house has a lot of space in the backyard and in the garden.
Wow , it must be so peaceful there.
A lot of people are waiting for the gyms to open to exercise. 🙂
I bet they are , I just need my long walks.
