Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2
Toss red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and 4 tablespoons olive oil together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Turn vegetables and roast 10 to 15 minutes more.

Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add torn kale and cook until just darkened in color, about 1 minute. Drain.

5
Heat remaining olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add drained kale and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Remove bell peppers from the oven and adjust oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

7
Layer pasta sauce, lasagna noodles, roasted bell pepper mixture, and grated mozzarella cheese into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Add another layer of noodles, pasta sauce, kale, and sliced bocconcini cheese. Continue layers until ingredients are used up, being sure to place noodle layers and sauce next to each other to prevent dry noodles.

Basic Ceviche
Super light and refreshing. I use this easy ceviche recipe without the fish (reduce the lime juice) as a topper for grilled tuna. Serves 4 as a lunch, 8 as an appetizer.
Peach Crisp with Canned Peaches
I prefer to make a peach crisp with canned peaches. It is very good with ice cream or sprinkled with pecans before baking. My family actually calls it a peach cobbler, but the crispy shortbread-type crust makes it a crisp.
Christmas Cake
This festive Christmas cake is made with dried fruits and candied citrus peel soaked in brandy to add flavor and make a rich, moist fruitcake for Christmas. Delicious as-is or cover it with almond paste and royal icing. I remember my mother storing her fruitcake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great-grandmother... I wish I still had that old crock!
