There are so many different recipes for lasagna’s on the web, but the goal here at the things we talk about is to find the easiest way to make something. So here is my best take on how to make a delicious dish of lasagna. Note: This recipe is for everyone even those that are afraid to cook. Also this recipe is copyrighted.
Here it goes:
This recipe can be done two ways, one where meat is used and the other where no meat is used. It’s really up to you.
Without meat:
1. Chop up some onions, green peppers, red peppers, fresh thyme.
2. Take a pot and pour in your Ragu sauce into the pot, while your ragu sauce begins to cook, take a box of mixed vegetables (frozen) and place it into your sauce.
3. Once that starts to cook, place your onions, green peppers, red peppers, fresh thyme into the sauce. Add some ADOBO Goya to the mix to give it that extra taste. Be careful not to put too much because it can make your sauce too salty.
4. Now while your sauce is simmering. Place another pot filled with water to boil and add some oil, and a little bit of salt.
5. The water shouldn’t take long to boil but once it is place your lasagna into the water. Make sure you place the lasagna one by one.
6. Now let the lasagna cook. Once that’s cooked, this is where it gets tricky, lasagna tends to stick together so you have to keep it in the water, let the water cool a little before sticking your hand in it.
7. Take your oven ware and spray it with PAM or butter spray, whichever you prefer.
8. Place your first layer of lasagna, next place the sauce on top. Now it’s time for your shredded cheese, I like to use different 3 different kinds and it really depends on how I feel. One cheese that is necessary to have is the Ricotta Cheese.
9. Place your ricotta cheese first and then add your shredded cheese on top. Now add your other layer of lasagna and continue this process.
10. Once you add all your layers, the very top layer should consist of the shredded cheese. Now it’s time to place it in the oven.
11. By the way, make sure your oven is preheated to 400 degrees. When your oven is preheated, the lasagna will be ready quicker.
12. Let it bake for about 30-35 minutes.
13. Once it’s bake, take it out of the oven, let it cool and then it will be ready to eat.
With meat:
Follow same steps just add meat to your sauce and let it cook a bit longer, remember cook it a medium heat, and add water as you go, not too much, because you want your sauce to be thick.
Good luck!

Hey you guys, this is a very easy recipe if you want to make some rice with black beans. This recipe has a West Indian twist to it, it tastes delicious and I hope you enjoy it.
Note: This recipe is copyrighted.
Rice with black beans
Note: This isn’t black beans and rice ( which is white rice and bean sauce) I’ll have this recipe up soon. So stay tune….
1. Wash your black beans with water. (2 washes)
2. Put the black beans to boil, don’t forget to cover the pot, it boils quicker!
3. Check the beans after about 20-30 minutes to see if they are tender, (it shouldn’t be mushed)
4. Once beans are tender, drain the beans but don’t throw away the water in which the beans were boiled (Very important)!
5. Now it’s time to fry the beans, no need for too much oil, just enough for the beans to fry in.
6. While the beans are frying it’s time to start putting in your spices
(how to prepare your very own homemade spices will be coming soon).
-Some spices to consider
Goya ADOBO collection
7. Once the beans are done frying with the spices, time to put in your coconut milk, yes coconut milk, no need to put too much, that means don’t put in the whole can, not even half the can, just enough to cover the beans.
8. Let the beans simmer in the coconut milk for about a minute or two.
9. Now it’s time to pour back the bean water back into the pot.
10. Once you pour the bean water back make sure you check to see if it needs more salt (this truly depends on you).
11. Now once the water begins to boil, you know it’s time to pour in your rice.
12. When pouring the rice, you know you have enough once the rice makes a hat over the water. Stir to make sure you haven’t been deceived. Pour as needed.
13. Now let the rice cook in water for a little bit on High to medium heat.
14. Once the water starts to disappear it’s time to cover the rice so it can steam.
15. Let the rice cook and steam for about 30 to 40 minutes.
16. Go and check to make sure your rice is cooked and if it is then your ready to eat!!!
?Good luck!!!

Ok….I know I’ve been slacking on bringing you guys some of my favorite recipes, which are easy to do and won’t take you long, for the most part at least, well this one won’t take you long. This potato salad goes great at a party with chicken wings and maybe some baked macaroni that you can check out how to make under the food category, we’ve also got how to clean your meat if you have yet to check it out.
Ok so here we go;
1. Boil your potato’s! As many as you want, if your serving a lot of people than 1-2 bags is what you’ll need. Remember add some salt in the water when boiling and don’t forget to cover your pan.
2. Take another pot and boil some eggs, again this depends on how much you plan to make, 3-4 for small servings, 6-8 for large servings. Boil eggs for 15-20 minutes.
3. Once your potato’s are cooked, peel the skin, and then go on to smash your potato’s.
4. Now add your eggs into the potatoes and go on to smash your eggs along with your potatoes.
5. Add some salt and a little GOYA ADOBO to give it additional taste.
6. Next add your mayo, mix in the mayo well.
7. Refrigerate!
8. Once your party is ready to get started remove and serve!!
Hope you enjoy it!
