I was completely distracted by my baby while making lasagna today. I forgot entirely about the meat for the first 1 1/2 layers. In order to get all 1 lb. of meat into the pan I was using I had to be a little creative. The result, as I told my family, was Inside-Out Lasagna. The only difference between this and regular lasagna is there there is meat right under the top cheese layer. My 2 1/2 year old wouldn't touch it without serious coercion, but then again she won't eat most of what I set out. My husband and I enjoyed it.

Has anything like that ever happened to you? How have your recipes morphed as a result of distraction?
