I knew this was my next recipe as soon as I saw it. Restorative soup sounded good today and it became dinner. It may even be vegan (?), I just didn't check each ingredient (the veggie stock mainly), but the noodles for sure were. What I used with my minor edits:
Cooking is my hobby and I love it. It relieves my stress. I use recipes as a base line...I find a few and compare. Then I make my own personal concoction from what I've learned. This blog has become my personal cooking journal. It helps me remember what I've made/liked and didn't. But mostly, this is for my son. I hope he makes some of these dishes one day...One of the nicest things he's said to me is that he's never had a bad meal with me, at home or at a restaurant (research wins!).

Four Cheese Lasagna
I was having company over for dinner and lasagna was one of their requests when I asked them what they liked. So I went with homemade Caesar salad, cheesy (Mozza, Grana Padano, Provolone & Ricotta - 5 lbs at least!) lasagna and homemade garlic bread. Oh, and Tuxedo cake for dessert but I bought that at Costco. I decided to assemble and bake this the day before. I would just heat it up when they arrived. I made the sauce two days before.

Loaded Cauliflower Casserole
I chose to make this instead of baked taters tonight. We were having NY Strip steak and I though this would make a good side for it, along with sauteed mushrooms.

Singapore Fried Curry Noodles
When I was in my 20's if I got "Chinese Food" delivery, I always, always, always ordered Singapore fried noodles - loved the curry and the thin noodles. I rarely do anymore as there are many other chowmein noodles dishes I prefer though every now and then, I have them for "old times sake". Making it homemade sounded like a nice challenge for myself... This recipe popped up on my news feed and I decided to give it a go, adapting it for my likes. I headed to the Asian market. I picked up the Shaoxing wine @ $1.79 for a 600 ml bottle. I also grabbed the BBQ pork and noodles @ $1.29.

Black Vinegar Pork
I've slowly been working my way through freezer items. I found some pork loin and decided to make this recipe. I love black vinegar (Chinkiang), plus I had all the ingredients in my home, which is always a bonus. I doubled the recipe as I had 2 lbs of pork in the freezer. I served this with roasted broccoli w/ Everything Bagel seasoning and coconut cilantro quinoa with lime zest.

Pastitcio (Greek Lasagna)
I've never made but have always wanted to. I decided on this by Chef Michael Symon. I've been holding this recipe since he was on "The Chew". I used my deep dish lasagna pan to make it in. I had to edit and improvise a little; no lamb, fresh oregano or whip cream as I didn't have any of these in my kitchen tonight.
