Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

12 whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 pound lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano, or to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
4 ½ cups tomato-basil pasta sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, place ground beef, garlic, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until beef is crumbly and evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
Mix cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and eggs together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
Lay 4 noodles side by side on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan; top with a layer of prepared tomato-basil sauce, a layer of ground beef mixture, and a layer of cottage cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice more, ending with a layer of sauce; sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the lasagna is bubbling and the cheese has melted, about 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese has begun to brown, about 10 more minutes. Allow to stand at least 10 minutes before serving.

Chocolate Cream Snack Cakes

These are classic for a reason.

Egg Roll in a Bowl

You might think this was invented to avoid all of that time-consuming wrapping and messy deep-frying, but it wasn't! It was invented by the keto people, because they can't eat egg roll wrappers-but this guy can. So, instead of what's really egg roll filling in a bowl, we're doing the real thing in all of its tasty and textural glory. Garnish with more green onions if desired.

Healthy and Delicious Southern Turnip Greens

Traditional seasonings for turnip greens in the South are bacon grease or ham. This healthier version is a delicious alternative. Serve as-is or with sautéed bell peppers, onions, and garlic.

Venison Salami

This is my grandmother's recipe for homemade salami, you can use ground beef also if you don't have any venison around. It's worth the effort to make it.

Best Ever Ceviche

This sea bass ceviche is a juicy freshness overload and truly the best ceviche I've ever had. The flavors are bright, slightly salty, with a kick of heat and a bit of sweetness. Cold and crunchy with tender fish and creamy avocado, the textures are very well balanced. The mango adds a delightful sweet burst.
