Italian Sausage and Mushroom Lasagna with Béchamel Sauce
The béchamel adds a little something special to this wonderful sausage-mushroom lasagna. I like using part-skim ricotta, mozzarella, and low-fat milk to cut some of the fat in this dish. You won't notice the difference.
Vanilla Crepes
When I was a little girl, my mother would always make us crepes on Sundays. I also loved the smell of vanilla when my mother would make her cookies. So, I would always ask her to make her cookies, and when she refused, I would take out the vanilla and sit it next to me with the cap open, so that I could breathe the aroma. My mother get a kick out of this, and said, well, if it's that important, we'll add a little vanilla kick, just for you. After the first time she put the vanilla in, there was never a last...it became a tradition.
