It's possible to trade profitably on the Forex, the nearly $2 trillion worldwide currency exchange market. But the odds are against you, even more so if you don't prepare and plan your trades. According to a 2014 Bloomberg report, several analyses of retail Forex trading, including one by the National Futures Association (NFA), the industry's regulatory body, concluded that more than two out of three Forex traders lose money. This suggests that self-education and caution are recommended. Here are some approaches that may improve your odds of taking a profit. Prepare Before You Begin Trading Because the Forex market is highly leveraged -- as much as 50 to 1 -- it can have the same appeal as buying a lottery ticket: some small chance of making a killing. This, however, isn't trading; it's gambling, with the odds long against you. A better way of entering the Forex market is to carefully prepare. Beginning with a practice account is helpful and risk-free. While you're trading in your practice account, read the most frequently recommended Forex trading books, among them Currency Forecasting: A Guide to Fundamental and Technical Models of Exchange Rate Determination, by Michael R. Rosenberg is short, not too sweet and highly admired introduction to the Forex market. Forex Strategies: Best Forex Strategies for High Profits and Reduced Risk, by Matthew Maybury is an excellent introduction to Forex trading. The Little Book of Currency Trading: How to Make Big Profits in the World of Forex, by Kathy Lien is another concise introduction that has stood the test of time. All three are available on Amazon. Rosenberg's book, unfortunately, is pricey, but it's widely available in public libraries. "Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude," by Mark Douglas is another good book that's available on Amazon, and, again, somewhat pricey, although the Kindle edition is not. Use the information gained from your reading to plan your trades before plunging in. The more you change your plan, the more you end up in trouble and the less likely that elusive forex profit will end up in your pocket. Diversify and Limit Your Risks Two strategies that belong in every trader's arsenal are: Diversification: Traders who execute many small traders, particularly in different markets where the correlation between markets is low, have a better chance of making a profit. Putting all your money in one big trade is always a bad idea. Familiarize yourself with ways guaranteeing a profit on an already profitable order, such as a trailing stop, and of limiting losses using stop and limit orders. These strategies and more are covered in the recommended books. Novice traders often make the mistake of concentrating on how to win; it's even more important to understand how to limit your losses. Be Patient Forex traders, particularly beginners, are prone to getting nervous if a trade does not go their way immediately, or if the trade goes into a little profit they get itchy to pull the plug and walk away with a small profit that could have been a significant profit with little downside risk using appropriate risk reduction strategies. In "On Any Given Sunday," Al Pacino reminds us that "football is a game of inches." That's a winning attitude in the Forex market as well. Remember that you are going to win some trades and lose others. Take satisfaction in the accumulation of a few more wins than losses. Over time, that could make you rich!

COWBOY LASAGNA

I am kind of wondering why this is called Cowboy Lasagna. Do cowboys eat pepperonis, Italian sausage and ground beef? Maybe I am a cowboy and didn’t know it! 
On researching this mystery, I found that this pepperoni style lasagna is originally a Trish Yearwood recipe – so, Thanks Trish! I heard about this recipe from a friend and decided to try it for myself because, for one thing, the Ragu Pasta saucemakes this simple. 

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COWBOY LASAGNA
You need to know that this makes about 10 lbs of lasagna and don’t be like me because I’ve only had two large pieces so far today! There’s MORE in the fridge! HELP!!! 
Mr. Loaves and Dishes will be home soon and he will save me from myself, right?

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR COWBOY LASAGNA
  • Prepare everything ahead before you try to assemble. Just makes it easier.
  • You can brown the ground beef and Italian sausage together and just add as one ingredient if you want – will taste the same.
  • If you can’t find Italian sausage in a bulk form – just use the links and squeeze the meat from the casings and discard the casings. 
  • If you want some super melty and tasty lasagna, use the fresh mozzarella – WOW! Wonderful! I used the pre-shredded type for the video because I know that is what most American’s use – but if you use the fresh, you won’t be disappointed.
FOR TASTY LASAGNA…
  • If you want some super duper tasty lasagna, use the REAL parmesan cheese! You REALLY won’t be disappointed! It is so super flavorful!
  • In lots of recipes, you find me doctoring sauces with lots of herbs. Not needed in this recipe! The Ragu Pasa Sauce I used here has it ALL IN THERE! 
  • Always start a lasagna with some of the sauce in the bottom of the baking dish – it helps prevent sticking!
  • After cooking the noodles, I always lay mine out on a cookie sheet and coat with a little spray of non stick spray. Noodles like to stick to one another and this helps keep things unsticky. 
LEFT OVERS…
  • This dish is WONDERFUL warmed over – which is good because it makes a TON! Invite friends over for this dish!
  • Check out some other great Ragu Pasta Sauce Recipes HERE
  • Ragu says that this is their thickest sauce yet, and I believe it! Did you see the video (above?). The sauce hugs the pasta!

TRADITIONS FOR COWBOY LASAGNA
I started out this post by stating that I don’t know why this is called Cowboy Lasagna – which is entirely true but this recipe reminds me of my dad. My dad was simply the greatest man ever (I know, I know – count me as a daddy’s girl). I wish you could have met him! My dad was a recipe creator and a creative recipe namer too. Mom always says that is where I get this cooking streak from.
MY DAD…
My dad made so many memorable recipes – like grape jelly omelets and Medlin’s Egg Muffins and Dad’s famous WHOOPY hamburgers (what you say when you eat one). Grape Jelly Omelet – not my fav. Anyway, I know this is a recipe is one he would have loved – especially for the mystery of the name. He would have made lots and lots of jokes about pepperoni eating cowboys.

AND THAT is what I love about recipes like this. 
TRADITIONS! 
In my family, we have lots of family tradition recipes that are like this Cowboy Lasagna – something we ate a lot because it was simple and yummy. Recipes that are always remembered with good conversation around the family table. Because eating together, listening to each other and being there for each other is what family traditions are all about. 
I would love to hear about some of your family tradition recipes! In fact, I was thinking about starting a series of recipes that are ALL family tradition recipes. What would you like to see me share? Just let me know and I’ll see if I have it in my magical recipe cards! Just leave me a comment below in the comment section and I’ll see what I can do!
THANK YOU RAGU
for sponsoring today’s post and inspiring me to share my family traditions!
