Making Love-sagne

Who doesn’t love lasagne? When it’s made with love, it takes on a whole new meaning and taste. When I was younger I remember my mom cooking in a way that seemed almost gastronomically poetic.  Her name is Stephanie and she's still young and sweet.   Whilst  she cooked, a seasoned Frankincense incense would burn in another room, music blasting (most likely Stevie Wonder or Teena Marie) with her holding a glass of wine, swaying with the windows and patio door open on any given, lovely day.  I enjoyed watching her float, sing and shimmy from counter space to stove, chopping this and sautéing that… It was a process that evoked happy thoughts and feelings that seemed to be apart of her dish’s ingredients. I tasted and felt it in her food then and I still sense it now when I cook for my family and friends.

Fast forward 26 years later to my kitchen, it’s full of aroma and tunes with an Nandita Acharya incense burning in the living room.  Windows wiiiiide open to receive all that this 60 something degree weather has to offer.
I’m making Love-sagne.  I looked for the healthiest, mostly organic ingredients I could find…at Kroger :) No meat because if you do it right, you can’t even tell the difference.

Cooking makes me hungry so first, I indulge and fed myself salmon, artisan cheese, hummus, rice crackers, blueberries and wine. It’s like my pre-game soul fuel.  Lasagne is probably one of my favorite dishes to prepare because I like to layer ingredients.  It’s as if my positive thoughts and intentions are layered in between the marinara sauce and cheeses.

Annie Lenox is blasting through the air and is one of my favorite Pandora stations. Something about  the nostalgia of her peculiar voice . It sounds and feels, TIMELESS.  My childhood experiences of my mother in the kitchen made me feel good and those feelings transferred to my own daughter today.  I felt it when she came home and hugged me after school. She held me a bit longer and swayed with me to the music. She knew I was happily cooking with love. 
Bon Appetite and Happy Valentine’s Day.
