Monday -what's for dinner tonight thread
Hi Guys, I thought it might be easier to post this earlier in the day so we can get ideas for dinner ideas ......I'll start...
Tonight we're having a lasagne made with slices of eggplant and ground beef. I've never made this before and am kind of winging it recipe wise so if anyone has a tried and tested recipe for this I'd love it......

glad you like the thread, I love new ideas and I think its helpful for others to see what we actually eat rather than all the myths about Ds'ers and so many of us love to cook and have such great recipes!!

)1.5 lbs ground turkey
3 garlic cloves finely chopped
1/2 large onion chopped
1 egg
breadcrumbs
2 tsp Adobo
black pepper
mozzarella cheese
2 squirts of ketchup
I mix it all together and form the loaf. Spray the bottom of your crockpot. Cook on low for 3 1/2 hours. It comes out juicy and not dry.
I make it for my family all the time as they love mash potatoes with it and green peas.
Since I am back at work I have a programmable crockpot so I have it set to start cooking at 2pm and by the time I make it home by 6pm its done.
I hope you try it sometime.
