This recipe for lasagna may not be the most traditional, but it's a great addition to your collection, especially for those days when you don't feel like eating pasta, or if you have some extra mushrooms on hand.

A housewarming party is similar to an open house in that guests will stop by at random times. Instead of slaving over the stove, serve a simple menu of Spanish style tapas that are delicious warm, cold, or at room temperature. Start by putting together a large antipasto platter with your favorite cheese, crackers, marinated vegetables, and charcuterie.
