Use the included ribbon to secure the pages once you<br />
remove them from the center. The holes left by the<br />
staples are perfect for this. To create the mini-mag, gently<br />
pull out the middle section and lay it flat open. Thread<br />
the ribbon through the top and bottom staple holes and<br />
turn the whole thing over. Tie the ribbon ends together<br />
and your mini-mag is ready to go!<br />

Our culture –<br />
particularly with its<br />
current penchant<br />
toward stupefying<br />
“standardization” –<br />
seems bent on stifling<br />
individuality.

The Unplanned Homeschooler
Did you cut out grains to lose weight, and find that pasta<br />
was the thing you missed most? This lasagne will leave you<br />
so satisfied you'll never miss it again!<br />
Zucchini is the star of this recipe,<br />
but you'd never know it from the<br />
taste! Slice them lengthwise to<br />
make a noodle substitute.
Low-Carb Lasagne<br />
When we cut our carbs out, pasta was one of the first things to go.<br />
I love pasta. I mean, I love pasta, so I missed things like this<br />
dreadfully. When my husband had the idea to substitute sliced<br />
zucchini for the lasagne noodles, I was game to try it! This is the<br />
best lasagne I've ever had, and I can't even tell there aren't any<br />
noodles in it.<br />
