“Love your neighbor as yourself” is not a command to love yourself. It is a command to take your natural, already existing love of self and make it the measuring rod of your love for others. There is not a harder command in the Bible than this one. It means: Want to feed the hungry as much as you want to feed yourself when you get hungry. It means: Want to find your neighbor a job as much as you are glad you have a job. Want to help your fellow student get A's as much as you want to get A's. Want to help the person stalled on the freeway as much as you are glad you are not stalled on the freeway. Want to give the poor softball player a chance to play as much as you want to play the whole game. Want to share Christ with your neighbor as much as you are glad you know Christ yourself.

Place 1/3 of the apples in the bottom of a deep square baking dish (glass).
Sprinkle with some cinnamon and brown sugar.  Place 1/3 of the pre-cooked
noodles on top.
Mix the cheeses and egg white with the 1/2 cup brown sugar and some
cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread 1/2 on top of the noodles, then top with more
apples and another layer of noodles.
Repeat apple/cheese/noodles until you use them all up.  Top layer should be

Pour apple cider over lasagna.
Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH for 10-15

ALternately, I guess this can be baked in the oven (350 for 1/2 hour or so,
covered with foil).
