In Observance...

I like to celebrate the holidays. 

OK, so National Lasagna Day isn't really a holiday, but it gives me an excuse to make something I really like to make and my family likes to eat. So on July 29, I'll be making my famous Woz-agna. Add a nice bottle of vino, some Dean Martin, and that's amore!

But wait! It's National Chicken Wing Day too? Oh hell, now what? Guess I'll be whipping up some wings too! 

Want to celebrate with me? Come on over! But if you can't make it, here are some great recipes to help you celebrate! 

---

Lasagna...

Woz-agna - This is my own recipe, developed in my bachelor days in Columbus. One of my go-to recipes when I was courting Joan!

Mike's Pesto-Spinach Lasagna -  A tasty vegetarian dish!

Hearty Lasagna - Out of the Nohl kitchen, this is a dynamite recipe!

Ben's Dutch Oven Lasagna - Ben made this for a Boy Scout camping trip, but you can make it at home too!

​Ben's Best Lasagna - Ben made this for his Cooking Merit Badge, and is now a favorite. Grandma Charlene loves to make it too!

...and wings!

Smokin' Buffalo Wings - Better than Hooters, this is the gold standard. 

Ginny's Chicken Wings - This is a holiday tradition with Joan's family. So good!

Teriyaki Wings - I made this for a Fight Night at my buddy Steve's. They didn't last long. 

​Hot Wings - Our old neighbor and friend Mr. Lee's "secret recipe!" So simple. So good. 

Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing - You can't have buffalo wings without some good blue cheese dressing! You're welcome. 

​Nebraska friends, be sure to check out Sparky's Wing Sauce... it's made by Todd Morgan, one of our Husker tailgate friends. Ben swears by it and so do I!

So there you have it... solid recipes to properly celebrate these special observances. It also happens to be National Lipstick Day. May I suggest my personal favorite, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire and Ice.
