Ravioli Lasagna #2

Image
This meal has been on repeat since the start of COVID-19 stay-safe-at-home orders.  It's easy to throw together and is easily adjustable for whatever you have on hand.  I've used fresh pre-made ravioli, and have tried it with frozen ravioli.  My husband, my 3-year-old, and I will actually all eat and enjoy it. It goes great with red wine, per my sister. Super Easy Ravioli Lasagna Ingredients 2 cups diced roasted vegetables (I like an onion, a root vegetable, and/or hearty greens like kale or tomatoes)  You can use your imagination/whatever is in your pantry or freezer One 12 oz. packages of refrigerated ravioli One 24 oz. jar of marinara pasta sauce or stewed tomatoes 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese salt and pepper optional: 1 tbs. grated parmesan cheese and 1 tsp. dried oregano Directions Roast vegetables-Preheat oven to 425*F.  Toss vegetables with 1 tbs. olive oil and salt and pepper.  Roast on a pan for 20-25 minutes, turning the vegetables

Chrissy Tiegan's Cravings Pull-Apart Buttermilk Biscuits Ingredients: 1 1/2 c. whole milk 1 TBS and 2 tsp. white vinegar 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes 3 cups plus 2 TBS. all purpose flour 1 TBS. baking powder 1 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda For maple butter glaze: 5 TBS. butter, 3 TBS maple syrup, 1 tsp. salt Directions: In a measuring cup, combine milk and white vinegar a
