Lasagna Wonton Cups

Lasagna Wonton Cups - Full Size

I’ve been waiting months to point you in the direction of this recipe. Easily one of my crew’s favourite dinners of late, I suspect your family will enjoy it just as much. We tested these a few times back in the summer, and have secretly enjoyed them ever since, impatiently waiting for the recipe to publish so I could let you know all about them.

Wonton wrappers are inexpensive, versatile and worth a little storage space in your kitchen. Used for so much more than dumplings, they can be stuffed with sweet and savoury fillings, topped like a pizza or layered with meat and cheese to create these little lasagnas that also happen to be the easiest ones you’ll ever make.

The convenient toddler-sized single serving portion is perfect for small-ish stomachs, but I happen to know that the big kids are also happy to eat a few of these for dinner along with a hearty side salad. The fact that they pack up well for the lunchbox is an added bonus, and definitely one worth mentioning.

The meat sauce portion of the recipe makes enough for a double batch so you can make extra and freeze them, or store it in the freezer for another dinner on a different day. Head over to SavvyMom to get your copy of the recipe... and don’t forget to let me know if you decide to give them a try.

10 Things You Can Do to Prep for Thanksgiving This week – the one leading up to Thanksgiving - is one of my favourites of the year. I intentionally clear my calendar so I can spend several days prepping the big meal, organizing activities for the kids, adding a little festive décor to the house, and planning far too much food for our larger-by-the-year crowd. I’ve learned a lot about cooking this meal over the years and have a few ideas to help us all feel completely in control. Here are my suggestions: 1. Find Butter on Sale If I’m really on the ball I’ll start looking for good-quality butter on sale in the weeks leading up Thanksgiving. When I find it I stock up and put anywhere between six to ten pounds in my freezer because Thanksgiving is not the time to worry about calories and cholesterol. I don’t know what it is, but when I’m low on...

Sour Cream Pancakes with Roasted Apples I’ve been making one of two pancake recipes for years. The first is a classic puffy buttermilk pancake made from a recipe that’s so simple to create I memorized it after the third time I whipped them up. The second is the one I make when I’m feeling extra healthy and want to add a boost of whole grains to the kids’ diets. Both are beloved, in regular rotation, and sufficiently satisfy our pancake cravings so I wasn’t looking to add another recipe to our collection. That is, until I read Julia Turshen’s new book, Small Victories, and her description of sour cream pancakes topped with brown sugar-roasted fruit. I could go on and on about all the things I love about this book – and I will soon! – but at the top of my list is the fact that each recipe is both clever and creative, and uses...
