What Lauren Cooks: March 2009
http://whatlaurencooks.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. Sweet Potato and Spinach Lasagna. This recipe is a spin-off of a. Recipe for "Parmesan and Root Vegetable Lasagna," you can see the original here: http:/ tiny.cc/zEIX6. I make the sauce exactly according to their directions. I thought this vegetable lasagna was a great idea, but frankly, I think my version is better. And even though the original came from. Mine leaves out the mozzarella (which I couldn't taste when I made the original), and adds spinach, so it should be lighter.

What Lauren Cooks: Quick Spicy Black Beans
http://whatlaurencooks.blogspot.com/2009/03/quick-spicy-black-beans.html
Thursday, March 5, 2009. Quick Spicy Black Beans. These are an absolute staple in our kitchen. Today I whipped up a batch because I'm having dinner at a friend's and wanted Dustin to have something easy in the fridge for dinner. I'm trying to move to using dried beans more than canned, but canned beans are so great for quick cooking. These spicy beans have a thick consistency that makes them perfect for filling tacos or quesadillas. Or layering in huevos. Tsp oil (olive or vegetable/canola, etc). 2 Drain...

What Lauren Cooks: Chorizo Mussels
http://whatlaurencooks.blogspot.com/2009/03/chorizo-mussels.html
Friday, March 6, 2009. This is one of my favorite recipes. It's great for entertaining, but also a really comfy winter meal for two. It was originally inspired by a recipe for chorizo. From any one of the many butchers, cream fraiche. And a large slice of comte. Or even a good sharp cheddar on the side. These are definitely best with a good Belgian style beer, like a trippel. This is enough for a very hearty dinner for two. Depending on how long it takes to clean your mussels, the whole process shoul...
