Need something for that holiday get together, but you’re short on time. Throw a family size STOUFFER’S Lasagna in the oven. While the lasagna bakes, make this Three Bean Caprese Salad as a delicious side. 

I love the holidays. I really do. But my gosh why does life have to become so hectic? Why can’t we just sit back and enjoy the season? I could go on and on about this, but today I’m going to share a delicious dinner menu that you can throw together for your upcoming Christmas festivities.

When I was younger and worked at Hot Dog on a Stick, I used to make STOUFFER’S Lasagna for our annual Christmas party. STOUFFER’S is such a great solution to feed your friends and family during the busy holiday season. It’s simple and the best tasting lasagna ever. It became such a staple at our holiday parties, that every one would plan around the lasagna. So when I was at Wal-Mart last week and browsing the frozen aisle, I knew I needed to grab some lasagna.

I love to have it on hand, so if we ever have unexpected guests or just need something to make for dinner, I throw one of these lasagnas in the oven.

It turns out that this past weekend we were just too busy with an ugly sweater party (my first ever) and my hubby’s christmas party. I needed something on the table asap and knew this lasagna would be perfect. While the lasagna was baking I knew I wanted to have a side dish. Since I’ve come to love anything and everything caprese, I knew this would be a hit.

I decided to add a combination of beans, basil, mozzarella chunks, tomatoes and a bunch of other yummy stuff to make this a delicious Three Bean Caprese Salad. This salad is so flavorful and light. It adds such a great flavor and makes a great side dish for your lasagna.
