Microwave Lasagna image

I think that microwaves first came out in the late 70's or early 80's. I was one of the lucky ones to get one back then. This was my favorite recipe from my cookbook that came with my new microwave. My family loved it and I've tweaked it thru out the years. Most of the tweaks are simple but include changing the original recipe...
