Tonight's Dinner: April 3, 2012

For tonight's dinner I was inspired to do individual lasagnas from Pinterest.  I had seen lasagna cups made in a cupcake tin.  Since Nick thinks that ramekins are easier to clean than cupcake tins, I decided to try it this way instead.  (If I cook, he cleans and vice versa.)  This is a no ricotta lasagna recipe that I came up with for Nick's dairy issues.  He can eat yellow cheese, but white cheese is no good.  I also added cream of mushroom broccoli and cheddar cheese filled crescent rolls.
