Cheese Lasagna By: Pamela H.

Recipe Story

My daughter was diagnosed with CF at 2 1/2 weeks old. This came as quite a shock to our family since early in our marriage and prior to getting pregnant we were tested and I was told that I was a carrier for CF and my husband's test showed that he was not a carrier for CF. However, as we later found out, my husband was in fact a carrier of CF too, but not one of the mutations that he was tested for initially. Neither of us knew of anyone in our families that had CF, and we also have a son 16 1/2 months older than our daughter that fortunately does not have CF. Our daughter is now 3 years old and is a beautiful, spunky and healthy little girl. This lasagna recipe is very tasty, for both young and old. It also is high in calories, and can be made even higher in calories.
