Lasagna


Lasagna 



All the ingredients and spices I used (ground chicken not pictured) 

I started by chopping the onion and garlic, I use a 3 cup food processor and it makes the process too much easier! 

Start sautéing the onion ( I added some seasonings in at this point) 

When the onion is almost done add the garlic and finish sautéing

Add your meat and spices and brown. 


Mix the eggs in with the cottage cheese. 

Mix you sauce with the meat and mix in the cottage cheese mixture.



 Start by spreading some sauce on the bottom of the pan so your noodles don't stick then layer noodles, meat mixture,  and cheese, you'll end up layering three times and finishing with cheese (I had some fresh mozzarella leftover from another recipe so I through that on top as well)


I baked at 375 for 45 minutes and let sit for 10 minutes to cool.

Finished product (I always add some garlic and more parmesan to mine, Joe added hot sauce😂).
Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef (I used ground chicken, you can use whatever you like)
  • 1 onion - chopped
  • 1 garlic head 
  • 2 eggs - beaten
  • 1 jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 1 small can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups Cottage cheese (You could use ricotta cheese also)
  • 3 8 oz bags shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese ( I use the grated kind in the jar) 
  • Lasagna noodles

Directions:
  1. Saute onion in about a tablespoon of olive oil or butter 
  2. add garlic once onion is almost done
  3. Add meat, and seasonings and brown
  4. Mix cooked hamburger with spaghetti sauce, part of cheese and ricotta or cottage cheese.
  5. Spread a little sauce in bottom of  baking dish, to keep noodles from sticking.
  6. Layer noodles, meat mixture, and cheese.
  7. Layer again.
  8. Top with Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake at 375* 45 minutes or until heated through.
  10. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
This makes 2 9x13 pans - wanted smaller freezer meals for later so I broke it up into a few different pans, It makes approximately 20 pieces.

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first! This is a little generic and certainly not all about peanut butter but my favorite is definitely  Chocolate Nobake Cookies (with peanut butter of course).

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...

Life update + some new projects

Lifish update I’ll do a full “anniversary post” in July but I’ve just had a lot of thoughts lately about life, crohns, everything. To be honest I’ve had a lot of confusion and even discouragement which is not normally me. I’m coming up on two years and while I’m no where near how I was two years ago (I mean that was pretty bad...😳) I’m also nowhere near where I thought I would be, I remember thinking that on the year anniversary too and I kind of think that feeling has just progressed since then😕. I’m no better than I was 8 months ago to be completely honest with you and in some ways may or worse? I am so so thankful to have a diagnosis and know what’s wrong with me, but with that I thought would come answers and healing. I’ve had some answers and some healing of course, but there’s still really a lot of unknown! In the beginning I used to talk about finding my “new normal” well I’m here to tell you 2 years later I still haven’t found it😂. Learning to navigate something new ...
