A few weeks ago I wrote about the power of food, and the role Lasagna Love plays in delivering comfort during times of chaos. I highlighted some true heroes working on the ground in and around Ukraine, delivering food to refugees, soldiers, and those still in Ukraine...

There’s power in food. Any Lasagna Love volunteer can tell you that, but I think most humans know this intrinsically. A simple, home-cooked meal can provide someone kindness, comfort, and a feeling of connectedness during a difficult time. Most often, our volunteers...

A couple of weeks ago I learned about a report from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation released by its founder, Richard Harwood. It’s called “Civic Virus: Why Polarization is a Misdiagnosis.” Within the report Harwood diagnoses America with a new malady, not...

  Am I the only one who feels like 2021 flew by?! It seems like just yesterday I was driving around delivering my first batch of lasagnas, trying to stay helpful by feeding a few families. Now here we are, our first full year as a nonprofit in the books. In this...

I still remember my first deliveries.

With it now being the middle of March, and Saint Patrick’s Day fast approaching, a lot of people’s thoughts are turning to springtime and fresh Spring dishes. What better way to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in Lasagna Love style than with a green lasagna? This twist...

“How did you grow so fast?!” It’s a question I’m hearing over and over again, and it’s a good one. Being a part of Lasagna Love has been kind of like being on a rocket ship, but you’re building a lot of the components while also being launched at warp speed into the...

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I did not expect it to last a year; I certainly didn’t expect to move for the second time within a year just as everything in the country started to shut down, and I did not expect to be standing in my kitchen at 6 am making homemade...

My introduction to Lasagna Love probably occurred much the same way as for many of you: I watched a news story about local families who were making lasagna for their neighbors in need and I was instantly fascinated.  I could not believe the idea was so simple: not...

Asking for help can be hard. But when I started making and delivering lasagnas back at the beginning of the pandemic, I didn’t realize just how hard. I remember being shocked by messages from moms who saw my posts but said they were embarrassed to be reaching out. In...

Hey Everyone! My name is Julianne and I’m going to be one of the regular contributors here to the Lasagna Love Blog. Some quick facts about me: I live in New Hampshire with my husband, Chris, and our 6-year-old cat, Freya. My top loves are my family and friends, food,...

Pause. Close your eyes and think about the last time someone did something kind for you. Really think about it… What was it? How did it make you feel? What did it make you want to do in return? Was the kindness something big, or something small? Kindness can actually...

I remember very early on in Lasagna Love – when we had no website, and I was still taking requests by Facebook messenger – a woman messaged me right after her delivery. She said: “I’ve never experienced something more amazing in my life”. And while that was meant to...
