Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups

I'm BACK! 

After 15 days together with the hubby for his R&R from Iraq, we sadly had to take him back to the airport yesterday. Just 20 more weeks until he returns home for good....we started this journey at 60 weeks, so 20 weeks should be a breeze, right?!? (Oh, I sure hope so)

So, while he was home, I tried to make sure he had some home-cooked meals.

I found this recipe for Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups....They were delicious and EASY to make!!!

Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups

9 lasagna noodles, cooked

10 oz. frozen spinach

15 oz. ricotta cheese

1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, grated

1 egg

1 tsp. oregano

salt and pepper to taste

32 oz. can tomato sauce

9 Tbs. mozzarella cheese

Cook lasagna noodles in a big pot of boiling water according to package directions. I add a splash of oil so they won't stick together.

Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl mix the cheese, egg and seasonings together. Thaw spinach and press out all of the liquid then add to your cheese mixture.

When noodles are done lay them out on parchment paper and pat dry with a towel. Scoop out approximately 1/3 c. spinach-cheese mixture and spread onto noodles covering completely.

Prepare a 9x12 baking dish by ladling 1 c. tomato sauce into bottom of dish. Roll up the filled noodles and place seam side down into the dish.

Ladle tomato sauce over roll-ups and top with mozzarella cheese. I used about 1 Tbs. cheese per roll-up.

Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. Until cheese is melted and your kitchen is infused with a delicious aroma.

Top with fresh basil.

 HAPPY EATING!!!!

Yummy Potato Soup!!!

I am ALL about a simple recipe when it comes to cooking.....I like to cook, just don't like the time consuming process....

My friend Susan gave me this delicious recipe for Potato Soup, and it's just about THE easiest recipe ever!

All you need is....

28 oz.bag of hasbrowns ( not the shredded type, and the choice of plain or with onions and peppers is up to you)

2 cans of chicken broth,

1 can cream of chicken soup,

1/3t. black pepper

block of cream cheese.

The recipe does not call for meat, but I put some cubed cooked chicken in mine, but next time I will put in some ham!!!!

Put all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 5 hours. Then drop in cream cheese and let it melt for about 30 min. Stir and serve.

It doesn't get any easier than that!!!

Ryan's cousin got married....it was pouring down rain so I didn't take my camera in...but my mother in law had her camera and took this sweet picture of our family....of course, you can never get all 4 of us smiling....but the hubby is in a tux and I can't resist sharing!!!

Dancing, Dogs and Dinner

Hello Bloggers...

Sorry such a long absence. The hubby went out of town last week, and I was left in charge...all alone....for a week...

Needless to say, my days were filled with tons to do....My hubby is such a big help when he's home, and I really miss his help when he's gone.

What on EARTH am I going to do for 12 straight months while he's deployed?!?!?!?...but we won't talk about that right now...

Brooke started dance classes last week...and let me tell you, it one of the CUTEST things I have ever seen. It's hard to believe this little baby I held in my arms just 3 short years ago is now taking dance lessons. WOW!

Just look at those little legs... I just want to eat them up!!!!

She's trying really hard to shuffle across the floor. She sticks out her tongue when she concentrates...haha

Taking a break to make sure her tap shoes are okay...

She's come a long way in one week. Last week she had the death grip on my leg....and now look at her!!!!

..and here is her little dance bag I made for her to take to class...


And here is a picture of our little Wooley Booger...also known as Tobie at our house. This is our sweet Yorkie who is 10 years old. He was my birthday gift the first year we were married, and he's still going strong. I thought this was sweet of Mr. Tobie....he was my first baby...before my human babies came along...

And for dinner...

I made an Italian Sausage Pie

You need:

1 lb. mild Italian sausage
5 eggs
1 package frozen chopped spinach
2c. shredded mozarella cheese
2/3c. ricotta cheese
1/2t. pepper
1/2t. garlic powder
1/4t. salt
1 package pie crust
1 egg lightly beaten w/ 1t. water
Cook sausage for 5 min until brown.
Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl, and add sausage once it's cooked.

Line a 9 in pie plate w/ first shell. Spoon in mixture and cover with 2nd pie shell.
Brush with egg/water mixture.
Bake at 375 degrees for 1hr. 15min.

This is what it looks like when it's ready!

Bothof my girls are picky eaters, but both ate this without a complaint. The hubby even said how good it was...definitely something different, but good...and makes alot!

Until next time......

What's For Dinner & My New Fun Find...

I am thinking a crock pot ranks up there with those items you can't live without...you know, like, food, water, shelter, coffee, Facebook...and the crock pot??? I just love mine! I am able to get dinner going in the morning before my day gets hectic.

And around my house, we have the "Witching Hour" as we like to refer to it. That's the time a day from about 4-6pm where everyone seems to running low on fuel. The girls start fighting, or at least one of them starts whining....which is my BIGGEST pet peeve these days. So, with dinner in the crock pot, that's one less stress I have to worry about.

I found this fun blog called "A Year of Slow Cooking" that has 365 crock pot ideas...perfect!!

I have THIS recipe in the crock pot now. I'll let you know how it tastes!

....ON ANOTHER NOTE.....

Look what I found yesterday while out shopping...a photo scroll! Pretty neat huh? It's litterally a piece of iron with little circles on either side. You insert photos inthe little slots....really nifty. I got it at Pier 1 . You can click on the link to get one for yourself! Simple, but a great way to display photos...and if you are a picture nazi like I am, then this you'll love it!

It's the Witching Hour here....so take care until next time!
