We went over to my MIL's house for dinner tonight, as my FIL is off on a business trip and i decided to try my hand at zucchini lasagna. OMG was it ever tasty.

I found the recipe on pinterest, (we have a love/hate relationship) and it took me about twenty minutes to find a recipe that looked easy enough to make and didn't take very long to cook. Now the author of this recipe gave it a four "whisk" rating for difficulty but it wasn't really that hard. I had everything we needed at home except the tomato sauce and paste which MIL had at her house. This was a breeze to prep except slicing the zucchinis that was a Beach and a half. MIL didn't have a mandolin, so i had to try and slice them length wise with a knife.
I am in love with this recipe and it is so going on my weekly menu. We love lasagna at our house and this was delicious. I think next time i will cut the zucchini into circles and use them that way. DH also had a brilliant idea, before putting the lasagna together, to season and sear the zucchini.
Now there were a few changes i made to this recipe.
1. I didn't use mushrooms. DH and i don't like mushrooms, but i was thinking about using eggplant instead next time i make it.
2. I had to use almost three zucchinis to make mine in a 9 x 13 pan. Granted they were on the smaller side as far as zucchinis go.
3. I had MIL help me prep and she put the onion, garlic and herbs into one bowl so we put everything in to saute with the ground beef.
4. I added a large drop of honey to cut the acidity a bit.
This served 3 adults and one dragonborn and all of us had seconds. so if you plan on having your fambam over for dinner this is a great dish to make. Its yummy, feeds a lot, and fills you up. Serve it up with some salad and paleo bread and you are set! =] I am super stoked to make this again.
I tried to take a picture of the deliciousness tonight but DH's phone died on my and mine takes horrible pictures. =[
