Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna

No Picture. I always forget.

Review/Subs: I've only made this once so I made it as the recipe stated. It was perfect for a chilly winter evening. DH really liked it. 

QOTW: I would love a large freezer because we've talked about raising animals for meat which would mean that we would get a ton of meat at once.  We almost started with chickens this year but we have enough on our plates at the moment. It's a future goal though.  Right now I just buy what fits in the fridge. I typically do a quick stop once a week.

I made homemade pizza last week.

Link or recipe: I basically went shopping at Trader Joe's and bought everything that sounded good lol. I used their frozen garlic naan for the crust. I made one for DS with just pepperoni and some with pepperoni and caramelized onions/mushrooms.

The ones for DH and I were awesome. I spread on roasted garlic and onion jam, then topped with a little bit of the caramelized onions, goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, and a piece of prosciutto on top that got super crispy. I wasn't sure if it would be too much, but they were really yummy! Plus it is 4 naan per pack and I bought two packs so we had pizzas for lunch all week.

Question of the week: Do you have a large freezer?(Like besides the one in your fridge.) Do you can to preserve food? Or only buy what fits in your fridge? We just have the one on our fridge. Actually we have a big freezer in our basement but DH wants to get rid of it so it is not currently in use. It has been a major source of contention with the two of us lately because I don't want to get rid of it!

Substitutions, additions, personal review, etc: Super easy and delicious! I'm definitely adding this to our dinner routine. The only substitution I used was gluten free pasta. Couldn't even tell the difference!

Nope, just a regular freezer/fridge combo. I said to MH last week that I want to be one of those people who have a spare fridge in their garage. #foodgoals
