One thing I've noticed since Dylan has sparked an interest in anything and everything I eat... is the need for "family" meals that everyone can enjoy. Especially Dylan... who only has three teeth. The last thing I want to do is spend my whole night in the kitchen prepping two separate meals! My little crawler is zooming all over the house and when it comes to meal-time, he is ready to eat, eat, eat! Complex carbs provide him with the energy he needs to keep chasing our dog, picking up anything in sight, and exploring every nook and kranny of our home. Lasagna has always had a warm and fuzzy spot in my heart (along with all Italian and Mexican meals), so I wanted to introduce it to our son early on... that way, we enjoy the same foods and I can make ONE family meal that we all love. Hope you and your family enjoy it as well!
