While most parents that I know struggle with coming up with fresh dinner ideas each night, I’m typically challenged by lunch. My younger son needs to take lunch each day to his summer camp, and my older son is always on the hunt for a portable meal that can be easily heated up at his job or school. He especially appreciates meals that don’t require utensils, containers, etc.
One of my favorite gadgets for creating individually portioned meals is my muffin tin. Yes, the humble muffin tin! Of course I use it for making muffins and cupcakes, but it is also the perfect size and shape for making single-serve portions of almost anything you can think of!
I recently used it with one of my favorite shortcut ingredients—wonton wrappers—to make these easy, delicious and totally portable lasagna cups!
You can follow the recipe below, or use your favorite lasagna filling. Feel free to mix things up! Use ground turkey or chicken, toss in some fresh spinach—you basically can’t go wrong.
The lasagnas freeze beautifully and heat up quickly in the toaster oven or microwave. And they make a perfect appetizer, light lunch or picnic offering.
Now if I only knew what I was making for dinner tonight!
