EASY KID FRIENDLY LASAGNA
We were picky eaters growing up. Onions and chunks of veggies were not welcomed and it made most Italian dishes hard for us to enjoy. My mother started making this lasagna and we not only loved it but continue to love it to this day. It was my grandfather's favorite dish and he would request it on his birthday.

HUSH - HUSH KID FRIENDLY LASAGNA
I made this vegetarian lasagna for my sister when she came home from school declaring her newfound love for the dish. I knew she didn't like "chunks" in her pasta, nor does she eat many veggies in general, so I used the "sneaky" technique of pureeing zucchini, red pepper, carrot and onion into a smooth tomato sauce instead. "Smart" white whole wheat noodles and low-fat cheeses (including the dregs of a bottle of vegan parmesan) round out the rest of the layers. Makes 6 individual dishes or 1 9x5 lof pan and 2 individual casserole dishes.
