I’m making three lasagnas this weekend. One will be for the Christmas Eve party and the other two are gifts, along with a loaf, for each, of a good, fresh crusty bread. I’m running around like crazy, but wanted to put up a quick recipe thread.

I’m also making Chicken Parmesan for an after Christmas dinner party – I’ll post that recipe another time, when I have photos and the steps worked out. I usually just do it from memory, without a recipe, so I’ll need to pay attention and write it down this time.
The good news is, for all this cooking, it’s just one batch of sauce. A big batch, but one batch all the same.
I’m also making Toffee again this year. Last year I watched a video and it looked so simple, considering how expensive the good stuff is when you buy it, and it was incredibly easy. And a big hit and everyone wants it again this year. So I’ve stocked up on butter every time it went on sale and the rest I always have on hand. Toffee video and recipe are here.
