How to Assemble An Easy No-Bake Dessert Board

One of my entertaining go-tos are my quick and easy dessert boards! I love dessert but hate baking so this is the perfect solution for me. Everything used is pre-made and was available in the bakery section at my local grocery. I just simply took items out of the package, cut up, and arranged all together on a pretty tray! You really can easily customize this with a variety of different baked goods, desserts, and sweet treats or by doing a certain color-scheme or theme if you need to!

Cheesy White Lasagna with Spinach + Crispy Prosciutto

Winter always puts me in the mood for cozy dinners and comfort food, and this lasagna definitely fits the bill for both. This recipe has layers of alllll the cheese but it’s also perfectly balanced by the crispy, salty prosciutto and the brightness of the spinach and fresh basil. Also apparently I’ve been living under a rock because this is my first time trying the “oven ready” lasagna noodles that you don’t even have to boil prior to baking. It makes this recipe even easier, just one more reason to make more lasagna!
