Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups

6 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients:

12 uncooked lasagna noodles
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2-1/2 cups ricotta cheese
2-1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 jar (26 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce

Directions:

Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, cheeses, spinach, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Spread 1/3 cup cheese mixture over each noodle; carefully roll up.
Pour 1 cup spaghetti sauce into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place roll-ups seam side down over sauce. Top with remaining sauce. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.

(I didn't have any nutmeg and forgot to buy it at the store. It still tasted awesome!)

Menu-Plan Monday (On Tuesday)

Thought I would try something new. Some time I hope to learn how to link up to the recipes but for this week I'm not. I have a new link to the right. I love this woman's website. I aspire to be her, I will never make it! I'm not an organizing junkie but I am learning a lot from her.

Monday:

B'fast: Eggs and biscuits
Lunch: Chicken fries, apple sauce
Dinner: Cheese Quesadillas (sp?)

Tuesday:

B'fast: Biscuits and sausage
Lunch: PB&J sandwich and bananas
Dinner: One pot spaghetti

Wednesday:

B'fast: Oatmeal w/raisins
Lunch: Ham&Cheese hot pockets, vegies w/ranch
Dinner: Eash Chicken Enchiladas, vegies

Thursday:

B'fast: pancakes, turkey sausage links
Lunch: Leftovers or turkey/cheese rolls with apples
Dinner: Either Leftovers or pizza-depends on lunch

Friday:

B'fast: Eggs and biscuits/pancakes, orange slices
Lunch: ?? (on the road or at home)
Dinner: Tacos with friends

The one pot spaghetti and chicken enchiladas are new recipes I got from the I'm an organizing junkie website to the right of my posts. We're going to a friend's camphouse this weekend so that's why I didn't put Saturday or Sunday right now. We'll be back Saturday night but I haven't thought about Sunday's meals yet. :) Menu planning really helps with eliminating the 5pm rush of "what's for dinner". I usually plan on the weekends and the shop from that list-which also saves money. Try it, you will like it!!

cowgirl goulash

I made up the name but the recipe came off of the internet. It's amazing....it's cheap.....it's quick. I was supposed to make something in the crockpot but didn't get it in the pot in time so.....last night I hit the internet to see what I could find. This is so stinkin' easy and everyone ate it up! I made the name for Jenna so she would eat it.

Cowgirl goulash:
~ 1 lb. ground meat (turkey, deer, cow, whatever)
~ 1 can cream of mushroom soup
~ 1 can condensed vegetable soup

That's it....yep, it's the truth.

Brown the meat (get the grease out if you have any) then add the other 2 ingredients and cook until hot. Serve with rice or pasta (we used brown rice). Add a salad, vegetable, roll and there you have it....one of the easiest recipes I have ever cooked!

Happy eating!

Tasty Tuesday

I made a dish tonight that I just had to post about! We loved this recipe....the kids did not. But it was DELISH and fast and easy!

Guacamole Chicken:

1 lb. chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces
8-oz. pkg. guacamole
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
3/4 cup salsa
diced green onions or chives

1. Brown chicken pieces in large skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Mix in guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. Heat until warm.
3. Garnish with onions or chives
4. Serve over rice.


Easy dish. My variations: I used light sour cream, only used 1/2 cup salsa, and did not use any onions or chives.

I think this meal would be perfect with a crusty bread and a salad, we had neither! This recipe makes 4 servings. If you have more than 2 adults I would most definitely double it!
