HOMEmaker's Challenge~ in the kitchen, recipe challenge

This weeks challenge was: Find and make a new recipe.  Well, this seemed pretty easy to me I just tweaked an already pretty good one.  Lasagna!  Well I call this one Stuffed Lasagna!  :) 

I started with whole grain pasta, we don't always use it, but try to when I remember to buy it! 


These are the tomatoes we canned from our garden this year! :)  YUMMY!!!! Used them in our sauce!  When we canned them, we added parsley, garlic and oregano to the mix to make our own Italian tomatoes.

Yummy sauce with sausage, beef, onions (as you can see from the side of the pan), garlic and tomato sauce.

Cheese mixture.  Ricotta, about 1/2 cup of goat cheese (had some left over), some left over cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, 3 cheese Parmesan mix, eggs.  This was a must-go lasagna~whatever must go, must go in the lasagna! :)

The stuffed layer, summer squash, zucchini, olives and some parsley!


You can see the stuffed layer.  :)  Always trying to squeeze in any extra veggies I can!

Refrigerator biscuits with garlic powder sprinkled on top... Our favorite!


Time to eat! :) 

Overall, it turned out great, although I could taste the goat cheese (not a fan) but no one else complained! :)  I always try to add as much veggies as possible to the mix, but this was the first time I just did a layer by itself!
