I went to my kids' back-to-school last night and they actually served us DINNER. Sweet! There were two choices of lasagna available - meat (regular) and vegetarian. I had the vegetarian and it was so delicious, I woke up wanting more this morning!
I've been reading a blog called A Year of Slow Cooking for a long time and appreciate her fun instructions and honest evaluations of the recipes she tries. It's a fun blog to read, even if you never try a recipe.
I read her latest entry today, and it was a recipe for this lasagna in the crock pot. Score!
I'm linking to it here, not only for this recipe, but for the other vegetarian-friendly crock pot recipe links she added to the end of the post. She also has a "vegetarian" category of recipes. Score again!

½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp salt

Combine and mix until moist. Grease and flour bread pans. Pour ½ - ¾ full. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 – 1 ½ hours.

Tortilla Salad
Marilyn Beckstrand brought this to a Relief Society activity a couple of months ago. She gave me the recipe right away but I was VERY slow getting it up... I'm sorry! But here it is... and trust me, it is GOOD!!!
Tortilla Salad
1 ½ packages curly pasta
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can corn
1 red onion, chopped
1 red or green pepper, chopped
1 can sliced olives
2 cups mayonnaise
2 cups buttermilk
1 package fiesta ranch dip
Tortilla chips
Cheese, diced
Tomato, diced
Avocado, diced
Cook and drain noodles. Mix beans, noodles, corn, onion and olives together Combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, and dip mix. Add to bean mixture. Line dish with tortilla chips. Add bean and mayonnaise mixture. Top with diced cheese, tomato, and avocado.
Serves 20.
*Taco seasoning mix and plain ranch dip can be used as substitute for fiesta dip mix.
From Marilyn: I probably had less noodles than the recipe calls for, I didn't measure them. I also had a very large pepper and onion so didn't use all of them. Also I cut the dressing in half. I don't put the chips in the salad either. (They were sprinkled on top.) The recipe isn't too clear on the amounts, Sorry, you will just have to experiment to get it to your liking!
