I’ve come to the conclusion that moving houses is the fastest way to tell whether or not you are a hoarder.

In fact, I came up with a quick way to tell whether or not you have a problem. It pretty much comes down to the following:

Do you have 6 halfway-used tubes of bengay?

Do you have tubs of dental wax, even though you haven’t worn braces since high school?

Do you own every piece of exercise equipment that ever appeared in an infomercial?

If so, your name may be Jasmine and you may be a hoarder.

We’ve spent the last few weeks packing up our house and moved over the holiday weekend. Because it’s been a little crazy, we’ve tried to minimize the amount of cooking we do (we even tried Blue Apron for two weeks!), and this Crockpot Lasagna recipe from Gimme Some Oven seriously hit the spot. 

I have to admit I was skeptical. I’d seen versions of this before, but found it hard to believe the result would taste just like lasagna, and not like soup! The noodles were perfectly cooked and the dish was hearty and flavorful. I do suggest investing in a good pasta sauce or making a homemade one yourself (see here).  Layer cooked ground beef or sausage with noodles, sauce, spinach, and ricotta and mozzarella cheese and in about 6 hours you’ll have a wonderful Italian dish with minimal effort!
