The medicine of the soul is good food. This saying has been used for centuries as a reason to drown ourselves with rich spicy food when we are happy, sad, or in between. Everyone loves to share a good hearty meal with family and friends, and there is no better time than the Thanksgiving/Christmas season that is here with us to share the gift of fine dining with your loved ones. Pot roasts, turkey, chicken and lamb dishes are all associated with large families and big meals. However, on that quiet night in, why not try out an easy-to-make dish that is as delicious as it looks; lasagna.

Easy lasagna recipes are all over the net and in many cookbooks. Most of them call for ground beef, white and red onions, spices, a generous helping of various types of grated cheese and, of course, uncooked lasagna pasta. Lasagna pasta is made from durum flour, the only kind of flour allowed for pasta in Italy. You can make the pasta yourself from scratch. However, since this article is about easy lasagna recipes, just buy a packet from your local food store. The essence of lasagna, and what makes it a glorious meal to partake, is the layers of sauce and cheese that make the dish. First the red meat sauce, then the white lasagna pasta sauce mixed with melted butter, and finally the layers of cheese.

If you are a vegetarian, there is an easy vegetarian lasagna available right next to the beefy one in every book store and website. You can make green lasagna with plenty of cheese and spinach or broccoli. You can even use whole wheat lasagna noodles and low fat cottage cheese for a healthier, more calorie-conscious lasagna dish. Easy vegetarian lasagna dishes can also consist of plenty of mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers with low fat ricotta, mozzarella and cottage cheeses. However you prefer your lasagna, rest assured you’ll enjoy it served with garlic bread and salad.

Growing up, the toy I most yearned for, the forbidden fruit of the toy store, was the Mr Frosty Icy Treats Maker.

Every year as the weather heated up, the Mr Frosty commercial would be shown on TV and I would start asking for it as a gift for my birthday. And every year I was denied. Fear of mess, stickiness and unhealthy treat eating were all reasons cited for the Mr Frosty withholding.

So I never plucked up the courage to ask for an Easy Bake oven – surely if an ice crusher was not allowed, then a toy oven that really baked would be out of the question.

If you are one of those parents denying your kids a food based toy because it seems to messy, think about the learning opportunities they are missing out on.

Making their own food will teach them confidence in the kitchen, and the joy of providing a treat for someone else.

Hasbro have given the old light-bulb powered oven toy a make over, and now the new Ultimate Easy Bake Oven for 2011 features a real heating element to make real home-baked goods.

The receipes have been jazzed up too, with cup cakes and pizzas part of the range.

This type of toy, that allows the child to take control of the cooking is a huge confidence boost. Whilst cooking with your child can be a joyful and educational activity, though necessity the child will always be following your lead. And recipes can be difficult for children to follow, so instead they will need to follow your instruction.

When you use the Ultimate Easy Bake real baking toy oven, your child can take the lead with confidence as the equipment and recipes are desgined to be used by kids.

Once kids have discovered the joy of creating in the kitchen, they will be more inclined to cook for themselves when they are older, and be inspired to have a varied diet, filled with home-cooking.
