Lasagna

Tooting my own horn.

I cooked. Doesn't happen often because I am not terribly good at it and I just don't enjoy it that much. My sister cooks great.

I made spinach lasagna last night. I had to ask my sister a few questions (and she laughed at me- evil cow) but I did it. It tastes good (but not as good as hers ---yet), and no one got sick. That is a success in my book.

I think any time you cook lasagna you deserve to toot your own horn. It is quite labor intensive!

Good job!

two packages 1/3 fat philly cream cheese
two bags of frozen chopped spinach
two boxes no cook lasagna noodles
3 jars spaghetti sauce (prefer newmans sockarooni sauce)
2 BIG bags of shredded mozzarella skim cheese
red chili pepper, italian seasoning.

Microwave spinach until hot and no longer frozen, stir in both bricks of cream cheese and spices until completely blended

pour thin layer of sauce on bottom of pan, lay down noodles (okay if you have to break some into smaller pieces just don't overlap)

spread spinach mix on top of noodles, spread layer of sauce on top of that sprinkle mozzarella on top of that

put down another layer of noodles, spread spinach mix on top, put more sauce on top, sprinkle more cheese, etc.. keep going (about 3 layers)

leave one whole bag of mozzarella for top

preheat oven to 350 (or whatever it says on noodle box) cover with foil, cook 30 min. Uncover cook 15 more min. leave it for 5 min then eat until you pop.

I didn't put enough red chili in mine. I thought 3 pinches or so was enough, but apparently the stuff in that jar is mild. I like mine spicey

YUM!

I can't have pasta and I can't have cheese...dammit.

I'm making italian wedding soup for dinner. I stewed a chicken last night to make stock and ended up with about a 1.5 gallons of the stuff...lmao...but it's soooooooo tasty!

we will have a deal. I eat the pasta and cheese for you cannot and you eat all the meat for me.

:P I'd rather have the pasta and cheese. I'm soooooooo sick of eating chicken! I want a big fat greasy slice of sheese peezza!

I asked at QWL a couple of weeks ago if they had a vegetarian plan, and they said they do, but no one stays on it long. You're allowed cheese, but only like 2 oz per serving. I can't remember what other meat substitutes they have on the vegetarian plan. I like Loma Linda and Morningstar Farms stuff. When I was a kid, my mom taught us how to make gluten from flour to use as a meat substitute, and I still love that stuff.

My sister makes a really good TVP meatloaf. She is aces with spices.
