Sausage & Mushroom Lasagne

This hearty and flavorful sausage and mushroom lasagne is one of our favorite comfort foods during fall and winter months.  The combination of the sausage, mushrooms, and red wine make such a delicious combination.  The meat and mushrooms absorb all of the red wine and the seasoning, and the flavor becomes embedded it into the finished product.

Maid Rite Sandwich

Where we come from, a ground beef sandwich with a flavorful sauce was called a Sloppy Joe.  Living in Colorado and influenced by our beloved Iowa neighbors (love ya'll!), I learned that the Maid Rite Sandwich is a Sloppy Joe, without the tomato base.  Both delicious, but since living in CO, our family has adopted a liking to this more Iowa style of sandwich. Although I cannot figure out why…
