The end of wheat harvest is in sight (2 MORE FIELDS!!), but I am still super
busy trying to finish my combine driver duties, running the boys to swimming lessons,
4-H activities and getting a new babysitter settled into our chaotic
routine. Another sweetheart of a Farm
Mom from Northeast Kansas shared this recipe with me last week. She was quick to say that it is not a fast
recipe, but it is one she uses when she knows she will busy the next day. I love those kind of recipes! I try to do a lot of prep work in my kitchen
before busy days of working cattle or when the kids have full days of
activities scheduled. I hope you enjoy
this recipe and I am going to have to try it when I get this wheat cutting
finished.
So what is for dinner this Wednesday? Well, June is also National Dairy Month!! What better way to celebrate our dairy farmer
friends than with a yummy lasagna. I
love my dairy farmer friends, but that is definitely one job I don’t want. They work 365 days a year. They have to milk the cows at least 2 times a
day and a day trip somewhere usually only lasts a few hours. Think about all that hard work they put into
your milk products while you enjoy this make ahead lasagna recipe.
