Chicken & Mushroom Lasagne
"I came up with this recipe for my son's dinner tonight. (The rest of us were having a tomato based lasagne, which he doesn't eat.) I tried keeping this simple for his tastes, so feel free to add extra herbs or vegetables to suit your own tastes! :)"

We loved it!! I just got fresh mushrooms today, and I used leftover grilled chicken, so it had a smoky flavor, yum!! -
Delicious! We really enjoyed this lasagna. It's great to have something a little different. I will make again!

Well..about me! I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes!
I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!.
My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here.
I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking.
I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
