My Grammy's version of lasagna. Prepared the day before and left in the fridge overnight, it pops quickly into the oven and is on the table in no time. Sometimes I'll gussy it up with herbs and spices, but there is something nice and simple and homey about how Grammy made it. Easily halved or doubled!

Arrange 6 noodles in a 9x13-inch baking dish, breaking if necessary to fit. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce over noodles. Top with 1/2 of the cottage cheese and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers with remaining noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Top with Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with foil; refrigerate overnight.

Lemon Orzo Primavera
Colorful vegetables and the flavors of lemon and thyme make this orzo dish great for picnics. You can chop the zucchini and carrot instead of grating them to cut down on prep time, just be sure to cook them for a few minutes longer before adding the orzo.
Tempura Dipping Sauce
The traditional Japanese tempura sauce for dipping shrimp or vegetable tempura. This is a full-flavored version — unlike the thinner, watery, less robust sauce being served in some restaurants. Serve in small bowls at each setting. As an added option, provide grated fresh ginger and grated daikon to mix into the sauce.
Beaker's Vegetable Barley Soup
This old-fashioned vegetable barley soup is easy to make and delicious. Vegetable broth, barley, and lots of veggies make this soup hearty and filling. I use and recommend organic products. Please add a review if you make it.
