Vegetable Lasagna

"This is such a tasty and versatile vegetable dish! You can vary the type of peppers if they are out of season & expensive, you can add chopped spinach or sliced mushrooms. You can eliminate the wine & increase the amount of milk or broth if you choose.I use whole wheat lasagna to make it even healthier!"

  1. very good. no complaints.
     
  2. I just made this recipe for a group of vegetarian friends. I put it in a 10 inch round dish. It turned out thick, beautiful and delicious. I will definitely save this one to use again. (I increased the thyme.)
     
  3. This is VERY similar to a wonderful recipe I have made for years (found it in an LCBO magazine easily 10 years ago!!!!). BUT yours has subtle additions which have "upped" the taste for us. This will be the way I make it from now on...thanks CountryLady!!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
